I'm currently getting ready to start grad school for environmental engineering. I like feeling of wonder when experiencing new things in new places. Meditation is easiest for me when I'm riding my bike or climbing a mountain. Learning is awesome.

I'm also a semi-professional chiller. Conversation, coffee, and books bode well with me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've slept on many couches and let many sleep on mine outside of couchsurfing. This seems like a great way to meet new people, and help make this world a little more connected.

Interests

Running, jumping, climbing. Hiking, skiing, snowboarding. Biking. Walking around, drinking beer. Mountains. Books, conversation, and philosophy. Handstands are also pretty fun.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jose Saramago, Umberto Eco, Vonnegut, Haruki Murakami, Nabakov, Hemingway are up there on my list right now. I've been listening to a lot of Sufjan Stevens, Mandolin Orange, and Arcade Fire recently.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I just got done hiking most of the PCT, it was incredible!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always ready to share my stoke for getting outside and doing something fun!
