CURRENT MISSION

To travel to great cities. Also working on a Fulbright application for 2011.

ABOUT ME

I'm finishing the coursework for my Ph.D. in El Paso, TX. I have long weekends (Friday-Monday) and long vacations (winter and summer) during which to travel, and I love meeting new people with similar values and interests.

PHILOSOPHY

"Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress."

Milan Kundera

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fairly new to using CS but I just got a new apartment with much more room, so I'm hoping to begin hosting surfers in El Paso, in addition to staying with people when I travel.

兴趣

I like to make the most of a city and enjoy local events, but I'm also very comfortable with low-key entertainment and quality time with friends. I enjoy travel, tennis, film, concerts, reading, writing, cafes, running, hiking, swimming at beaches.
