About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet, teach, and entertain as many people possible.

ABOUT ME

I am a recent graduate of the the University of Rochester, I majored in Geology. I am an overall open person, but I can be quiet at first, but start talking to me and you'll find out that I can talk about almost anything...which can get to be a bit random at times...so if there is anyone out there who likes to be random, it would be a plus :D

In life, I want to end up teaching geology to either high school or college students. I feel that it's one of my duties as a citizen of this planet to help people understand the giant floating rock that we live on better (the floating rock being earth). Which means I am more than welcome to have interesting conversations about the earth with anyone...I'll especially appreciate it if a person teaches me something new about the earth that I didn't know in the past.

PHILOSOPHY

The gift of giving is the most precious lesson we all learn in life. That is why I want to teach geology, to give people the knowledge of their home planet.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I have neither surfed nor hosted anyone from this website. But I am in hopes of using this wonderful international service.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Like I said before, none.

Interests

Geology, the environment, food (all kinds, I am not picky), paintball, airsoft, singing acapella, science (like food, I am not picky with my science interests), frisbee, cats and dogs, movies, reading science fiction books (anyone a Robert Charles Wilson or John Scalzi fan?).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, me and my friends decided to sleep outside of our tents in Death Valley California to stargaze. We waited all night to see the Milky Way, but it never showed up, so everyone passed out. Around 4AM, I suddenly woke up, quite literally my eyes just flung open...and before me was the Milky Way in all her glory. For a good hour and half, it was just me and the Milky Way...since everyone else was asleep. It was at that moment, I realized how hauntingly beautiful our universe is.

Teach, Learn, Share

Geology, ask me about rocks or how this planet works and I may have an answer for you.
