Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite book is Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer, favorite living/breathing band right now is Radiohead, my current favorite album is Tyranny by Julian Casablancas + the Voidz, and my favorite movie is Wes Anderson's The Darjeeling Limited. Besides that, dig the Beach Boys, Vampire Weekend, Velvet Underground, Regina Spektor, Ben Folds, Phoenix, damn, so much.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Haha, I don't know. I'm not a very amazing person with amazing stories or anything like that, but I always think the view after you've hiked up a mountain is almost always objectively amazing. Just standing at the edge of those voids that open up below you, it's so visceral. So I'll always associate the word amazing with whatever that feeling is.

Teach, Learn, Share

I wouldn't mind teaching some basic science concepts if anyone were interested. I am more than anything interested in the history/culture of the places I visit. And I really enjoy it when people share their lifestyles with one another, since each individual's is so vastly different from another's.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to think I've read, maybe not a lot, but at least a considerable amount and could maybe have some interesting conversations having to do with this. I am also an Eagle Scout. I was a physics major, so I can probably share some of that info too. Other than that though, maybe a good ol' dose of ugly-American
