Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Fun?!?
ABOUT ME
I am a grad student working towards a Ph.D. in mathematical physics. Sometimes I wonder why the hell I would do such a nasty thing to myself. Other times I realize that pain and suffering is just part of life.
PHILOSOPHY
Have as much fun, see as many things, know as much stuff, while I can still breathe.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Every 18 months or so I need to get out of the dregs of grad school and spread my wings. I will ammend this as now it seems to be every six months...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
10 people 2 room house need I say more? Ireland on an assortment of random couches, a crazy night in Budapest, an enitre flat in Wien to myself, museums and spoken word in San Francisco and tons of more people I just haven't met yet.
Interests
I really enjoy gardening and bicycles, but also like sports such as rugby, football(or soccer since I am a silly yank), and baseball. I have been trying to learn bike polo but I keep building bikes to destroy them again!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love to read novels, but I also like books about food and cooking. Films are fun. Music is good, but dancing is my movement.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I packed this long forgotten trail all by myself in early spring here in Missouri. All day I climbed the mountain in the rain and immediately passed out on the summit. In the morning, I saw the most beautiful waterfall that was not even mentioned in any of the literature I was able to find out about the trail. I felt as though I was quite an explorer.
Teach, Learn, Share
Your knowledge of a city or town really increases others experience when they see!(I really like this section as I teach and pupils always ask, "when will we use this?"}
