About Me

Goofy red head. Easy going, sarcastic, try not getting to strung up one thing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm moving to Tubingen to go back to school and was hoping to meet some new friends.

Interests

I have come to grips that my main passion in life is cooking, eating and growing food. Sharing food experiences and knowledge from all international cuisines is what it's all about!
Love socializing (usually goes well with a drink) and nothing beats a good old fashioned laugh
Love hiking and outdoor activities
Sports (indoor and outdoor): tennis, big basketball, hockey, nfl, baseball fan. But pretty much any sport/activity that can be turned into a competition, I'm keen.

Music, Movies, and Books

I accept entertainment from all walks of life......Music: Vampire Weekend, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Wintersleep, Incubus, Bloc Party, Sigur Ros, And all sorts of Rap and Hip-Hop mostly mid-90s hip-hop

Guilty Pleasure? .....British Murder Mysteries. Inspector Morse, Lewis, Linley, Poirot....it's all good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

-been camping around Iceland....simply amazing
- i've memorized about 30 or so decimals of pi (not really something i'm proud off, but i was young and uninformed to how much of a nerd i was)

Teach, Learn, Share

I look forward to sharing my views on life with people and learning about how others live. Everyday, every new person you meet teaches you something. It could be small or it can be life altering, but either way it affects you. Sharing life experiences and expectations with others is something I really appreciate.
I could also teach people how to make a mean green chicken curry, meat sauce or how to play tennis.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Netherlands, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay
