About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Ghost ride the whip around life

ABOUT ME

I am a Civil Engineering graduate from the University of Colorado, on my way towards as much adventure as I can muster. Probably the first word that comes to mind when my friends think of me is "goofy," and right after that is probably "way too awesome." I am pretty laid back, but I also like to have fun. I enjoy meeting new people, especially those with fresh perspectives on life.

PHILOSOPHY

Something a friend said nonchalantly several years ago - "Who cares? There's music and I'm full!"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

However I can, just got started

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been hosted once in Italy and I would like to start hosting others, but I am still relatively new to the program. I've heard lots of good things

Interests

My main interest in life is to do things that few or no people have done. This desire has landed me in many quirky, interesting, and sometimes dangerous situations, but it has become a driving factor in my life. The main channels that I pursue this desire through are in playing music, hiking (and other outdoor activities), and trying new foods

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Being from Alaska, I've had my fair share of awesome scenery, one of my favorites was when my friend and I hiked a mountain right around sunset, and the peak was about a hundred feet above a thick layer of clouds. It was amazing. I think my CS profile picture is from that night.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to discuss and teach my thoughts and knowledge of music, yet I can and will always learn more
