CURRENT MISSION

I really like traveling and meeting new people; I think couch surfing would be a great way to do this.

ABOUT ME

Hi there,

My name is Paul. I'm down for just about anything and I'd consider myself to be a pretty ambitious person. I am originally from Madison, WI USA but have spent about 3.5 years of my life living, traveling and becoming educated in other countries. My biggest passion is sustainability and I received my MS from the University of Edinburgh in 06/07 in sustainable energy. I currently work for a wind energy company in Houston but in my freetime helped start Houston's first green housing cooperative! It's awesome! We've got a 3000 gallon rain water harvesting system that supplies our toilets, a veggie oil Mercedes and much more.

I also very much like free-skiing, real estate, Burning Man, entrepreneurship and spending time with cool people.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We've hosted about a dozen people in my place in Madison and surfed probably about 4 times around the country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My brother has done CS a fair amount and my roommate has as well, so I figured it would be fun to join-up.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Awestruck moments..hmm, what a good question. One of the best was when I was on the southern shores of India and saw these massive waves (probably 15' high) crashing into the shoreline. I was awestruck at the amount of power that they carried. It was at that point that I decided to switch careers from computer science into renewable energy. I went back to school, got a MS, and never looked back :)
