About Me

ABOUT ME

I am a yet-to-be-done (sigh!) graduate student based in the upper peninsula of Michigan, on the south shore of lake Superior. I am an active person, and the environment I am currently living in promotes seeking an active lifestyle better than a 9-5 jobs.

PHILOSOPHY

When in trouble, go big.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My roommate and I have a couch to share in our house. You can also camp on the deck, if that's what you are seeking!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am a newbie! I didn't have the chance to host or be hosted yet - looking forward to it.

Interests

I enjoy sports and outdoor activities, including running (road and trail), mountain bike, cross country ski, downhill ski, snowboard, yoga. Traveling this planet and meeting new people to share my time with is also part of my passions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Radiohead. Everything from classical to techno, through indie rock and electronic.

Books: Open, Catch-22, High Fidelity, Eating Animals, Flatland. Mainly non-fiction though.

Movies: Twin Peaks, The Shining, Mulholland Drive, Me and You and Everyone We Know, Gummo. The whole Coen brothers' production. Not a huge TV watcher.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just one? Grand Canyon double crossing. I left a piece of my heart on those trails.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all can learn something from everyone and everything.
