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?"}

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Luxembourg, Netherlands

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
