CURRENT MISSION

Avoiding Adulthood... i've been pretty successful thus far.

ABOUT ME

After finishing my undergrad I decided to spend a bit of time avoiding the real world so I moved to Berlin, Germany, the city of people trying to avoid adulthood. Trying to get my kicks, do some travel, see some stuff before I head back to the US to continue schooling. I work as a walking tour guide of Berlin which is quite fun, and as a tour guide of a concentration camp, which is not fun at all.

PHILOSOPHY

I dont know if I can really sum this one up. sightseeing i guess. constantly torn between proverbial starfish thrower and whatever the proverbial opposite of the starfish thrower is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Totally new to this, looking forward to getting verified and joining the wonderful world of CS. I think it is a brilliant idea.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt. St. Helens. The Aurora Borealis in the woods of northern Minnesota was one of the most phenomenal things I can imagine seeing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a pretty good cook, and would be more than happy to share not only recipes but some techniques as well. If you have any questions about the history of Berlin, general German history, or specifically Nazi history. I could probably help you out there as well. I am a decent dj, could maybe pass on some knowledge in that world too.
