CURRENT MISSION

On CS: Plan my next trip cheaply in order to cheaply fund the rest.

In my life: PhD in Geophysics.

ABOUT ME

My soul is happiest when I am dancing. My mind is always creating. My heart is the fullest when I am with my family.

PHILOSOPHY

I am always thinking and trying to figure everything out. Currently, I live my life as honestly as possible. Sometimes it gets me in trouble but it feels right.

What other people think, is none of my business. That makes my life easier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently just looking for places to surf so that I can afford to travel. One day I would love to host... trying to convince the roommates.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, it's great. I am having a hard time finding my friends that are already on the site though.

Interests

Mathematics, welding, ceramics, energy, physics, wake boarding, FISHING, biking, snowboarding, music and dancing because they are the easiest path to the soul, national holidays, religions, books, sculptures and installations, family history, urban camping, swimming, cheap beer, most importantly the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

My skill set: throwing a castnet, catching crawfish, riding a bike, cutting hair (sometimes), welding, and being resourceful.

I feel like a skilled dancer. Might just be a feeling.
