My name is Lucas. I'm a California native currently doing a PhD at Oxford!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I can meet up in Oxford and show you around!

I'm hoping to travel around Europe during my university breaks and I would love to meet locals there to teach me about their culture.

Interests

I enjoy going to shows, longboarding, reading and playing guitar. Ask me sometime and I'll make a song for you.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm interested in 19th century literature and in particular Russian authors—Dostoevsky is my favorite followed closely by Tolstoy. My favorite poet is Charles Baudelaire.

I enjoy a fairly eclectic taste of music, however Atlanta rap, indie-folk, death metal and classical are some of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

While taking a trip to Alaska I got to ride on a float plane over ancient glaciers. We landed on a shallow river and ate the most amazing salmon dinner at a rustic lodge. The ice in our drinks came from the glaciers and bears came out of the woods to lick the salmon oil off the grill.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you with English, physics, math or programmingーalthough most people don't do the last three on vacation.

I enjoy practicing my German and learning about peoples passions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I make a tasty breakfast skillet and my grilled cheese is second to none.
