CURRENT MISSION

to Live.

ABOUT ME

I play football and am a junior at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN studying Math and Stats. I just finished spending five months traveling around the world visiting Europe, Egypt, India, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, South Korea, and Japan. I love everything to do with the outdoors. I spent three months backpacking the mountains of New Mexico as a professional guide two summers ago.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything I'm not has made me everything I am.

Choose the path in life that best suites you, but not the path of least resistance. Pleasure is a facade for personal incompleteness, change is the only constant.

Not all who wander are lost.

Life is a journey, not a destination.

Success is determined by going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm and dedication.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to take advantage of sleeping on someone else's couch when I travel, so I thought it was only fair if I offered mine up too.

Teach, Learn, Share

Keep everything in life in perspective...it's all about relativity.
