ABOUT ME
I moved to salt lake from new york in april 2013.I absolutely love it here. There are few other places in the world where you can be standing in a city center surrounded by all the convince of society, and look up and see such majestic and unspoiled natural beauty. I fell in love with mountains when I visited interlaken Switzerland, and decided that I needed to live closer to some.
I love being outdoors. In honesty though, I more enjoy the way outdoor activities facilitate sharing wonderful, and unusual experiences with other people than just the activities themselves, so you will rarely see me out there solo.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I try to participate in all aspects of couch surfing...it has so much to offer
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Like most people on here I joined to find cheep places to stay, but found so much more once I tried it. Couch surfing truly is a better way to travel. I tell everyone that if you join this web site you instantly have friends in every city on the globe.
Interests
Learning new things, and challenging my self physically mentally and emotionally.
In particular my list of outdoor activities includes:
hiking
backpacking
road biking
bike touring
rock climbing
nordic skiing
alpine touring
slacklineing
all of the usual exercise type activities(running, swimming...)
I also like to garden, and barbecue. I own a guitar that I occasionally pretend to know how to play. My home currently has a dissatisfying lack of instruments, but if you would like to come over and make music we can make that happen.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
sonoluminecence! When you send sound through water from opposite directions, you can trap a bubble. The bubble will oscillate in size with the sound wave, and emit light. The light has 10^11X more energy than the sound that was put into the system. No one is really sure why this happens. I spent a summer in my sophomore year of high school developing a setup to reproduce this phenomenon.
