About Me

I'm a college student studying Aerospace Engineering with aspirations to work in the private space industry. While my future career may lie in a math-heavy, technical field, my interests and hobbies lie in artistic things and exploring. I love to travel, and I love even more to record my travels on my camera. I picked up photography about two years ago, but have slowly accumulated knowledge and some pretty sweet pictures along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to meet people along my epic road trip and catch a couch when I don't feel like sleeping in my tent

Interests

I am about to start my fifth year at Georgia Tech studying Aerospace Engineering, hence the love of space and space exploration. Since getting to college, I've traveled quite a bit, and I'm currently on a 2.5 month road trip across America and Canada to see national parks and cities that I've never been to. Along the way, I'm taking thousands and thousands of pictures to record it all.

Music, Movies, and Books

The black keys, the head and the heart, Kendrick lamar, Fitz and the tantrums, the killers, pretty much anything but country

The book thief, all the light we cannot see, all the king's men, and the mountains echoed, the shining, unbroken

Interstellar, inception, memento, forrest Gump, shawshank redemption

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran with the bulls in Pamplona Spain about 3 years ago and (thankfully) came away unscathed

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little something about photography. Or if you rally want to get into something deep, I can show you how planes, helicopters, and rockets work.

I love learning about different cultures, whether it's international or just a different region of America. Just tell me something I don't know, and you probably have my interest.

I can share with you any number of things: my take on southern culture, my photos, funny travel stories, beer (if I have it)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer photographs from my travels over the last few years and a good conversation. While the places we go may be cool or beautiful, I always find the most memorable moments are those shared with someone else. I love just sitting around, having a cup of tea, and getting to know someone until either one of us is too tired to talk anymore.

I also like to think I have an adventurous spirit. I'm down for whatever and absolutely love trying new things. Whereas some people collect objects, I like to collect experiences and memories, so bring on something I haven't tried yet.
