I generally keep to myself, but I can be very chatty at times. I do not drink, smoke or do drugs and am both a biology nerd and a regular churchgoer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, save money, and help others do the same.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Depends on my mood, but mostly classical. I like to just put the radio on and listen to whatever happens to be playing.

Movies: Maybe Jurassic Park. Movies aren't really my thing.

Books: Crime fiction, fantasy, sometimes popular science.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked up Mt. Fuji on a family vacation when I was 11 or 12. I remember looking down at the clouds, admiring the view across the slopes of the mountain, and getting horribly sick when I finally reached the top.

In August/September 2009, I did my PADI open water and got stung (on the face!) by a lion's mane jellyfish on my first ocean dive ever. A couple of hours later, I got back in the water and still managed to complete the course.
