ABOUT ME

I'm an astronomy student. That takes up most of my time. My free time is spent skiing, climbing mountains, or playing ultimate.

PHILOSOPHY

Always learn, don't hold back

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed Oz and NZ, now offering my couch in Boulder, maybe in the future I'll have a place in the mountains too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All over Oz and a bit in NZ. It's a great way to see the city and experience it from a (low budget) resident's point of view.

Interests

Skiing, Ultimate, Mountain Climbing, Backpacking, running and athletics in general, Astronomy.

I enjoy cooking and baking too, so if you want to let me stay in exchange for me cooking a meal or something delicious, I can certainly do that. I like fresh food markets.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mt. Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe. I also climbed Huascaran, the highest peak in Peru, which is 7000 feet higher. I won trivia night because the shirt I was wearing was my Potlatch jersey. I observed on Mauna Kea for 5 nights, then hiked up it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I climb mountains, travel, look at stars and other things in space, and use computers a lot. I'm also a very amateur photographer. If you don't know what ultimate is, I'll bring a disc (frisbee) and try to find you a game. You can learn a good amount of science from me if you're interested, but if you're not, don't ask or I'll bore you.
