CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and see as much of the world as I can.

ABOUT ME

Hi, I am currently a student at the University of Illinois in Urbana/Champaign Illinois, USA studying Materials Science and Engineering. At the moment I am in Munich Germany studying nanotechnology at the TUM. As long as I am in Germany I thought I should stay in Europe as long as I can and want to travel as much as I can until I have to go home back to the United States. So far I have greatly enjoyed my stay and am not looking forward to going home!

PHILOSOPHY

"It was neither possible nor
necessary to educate people who never questioned anything."

"I urge you to please notice when you are happy, and exclaim or murmur or think at some point, 'If this isn't nice, I don't know what is."

"Its only have you've lost everything that you're free to do anything"

"The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss."

"Its not the fall that kills you; its the sudden stop at the end."

"Take everything in moderation, even moderation."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined the Couch surfing community, and am hoping to use it to travel around Europe in my short time here. While I don't have a couch to offer right now, when I get back to school (University of Illinois, Urbana/Champaign, USA) I am living in a house with multiple couches in it and hope to offer it to anyone who may be visiting!
