CURRENT MISSION

Limit myself to 3 espressos per day or less

ABOUT ME

Hmmm...well after a couple years working, I decided I needed to be a student again. I am pursuing a masters course in Sustainable Forestry from the University of Copenhagen and about to take off to Honduras to do some field work. I am super interested in how tropical forests store carbon, but promise not to talk about it unless you ask.

Aside from those boring details, things I like include: reading the new yorker, fine craft micro brews, bicycles, fine craft microbrews while on bicycles, sunshine, sunshine while on bicycles (with fine craft microbrews), doing mountainy things like climbing and skiing, starting books and never finishing them, listening to Neil Young, pondering if I will ever settle for a real job, searching the internet for ways to travel the world without getting a real job.

PHILOSOPHY

Take it eeeeeeaaasy. Dont let the sound of your own wheels make you crazy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am about to move down to Honduras for 3 months. Hopefully I will get a place and settle in somewhere where I can finally host!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was hosted recently in Turkey, France and Switzerland. All experiences were fantastic.

Interests

Anything outside...hiking, skiing, snowboarding, camping, rock climbing.

Recently started reading the New Yorker. It might make me an old man, but its good reading. And it means that at least I am reading.

I also love learning about other cultures and learning how to slow down and enjoy life more! Yes, I do understand that is cliche for your CS profile.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have an eclectic taste in music, but you will probably always find some classic rock on my Walkman (Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, The Band etc. etc)

I don't read nearly as much as I should. I bought a Tom Clancy book when I was in the Canary Islands recently, which turned out to be terrible. Please offer me suggestions.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Doing the Meili Snow Mountain pilgrim route in Yunnan/Tibet was an unbelievable experience. Trading coconuts for lobsters in Kuna Yala, Panama, and hiking deep into the Ecuadorian Amazon with a Shuar friend have to be up there as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to sleep in airports, and I would like to learn how to sleep in airplanes. Far too much of my time recently has been spent in these two locations.
