About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Burning through my entire savings account traveling before I go to work in the real world.

ABOUT ME

I'm a math major with a minor in film studies.

I worked at the local record store and DVD rental place. It was the best job ever. I got paid to listen to music and watch movies.

I've been a vegetarian for over three years.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't believe in getting stressed out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just backpacking around Europe for a month since I just graduated. Looking to host people when I get my own apartment set up in DC.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet really. I enjoy sleeping on couches. Sometimes I'll just fall asleep on mine instead of going to bed.

Interests

Currently, I am going back and reading a bunch of classics that I missed out on in school. And of course math, film, and independent music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well I'm on a five week trek around Europe right now and that's pretty amazing.

Scuba diving in the great barrier reef was pretty incredible. Just the spectrum of colors you can find under the sea there is amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching people cool stuff about math. I can solve a Rubik's cube in about 5 minutes.

I'm a pretty good cook and my favorite thing to bake at the moment is scones. I could teach you the secrets to making good pastries.

I also love introducing people to all sorts of independent music.
