I love travel (of course), the outdoors, language, reading, and learning about the world I live in. I love STEM but am also a fan of the softer sciences like psych and anthropology. Human behavior and biomechanics are my jam. I'm currently learning to play the bass guitar and the ukulele, but I'm still very amateur.

I'm not great at small talk but I don't mind silence either. I find myself asking what some might call "deep" questions, but to me I'm just trying to understand someone or something. So if you're down for that then I'm you're guy!

I like to say 'white belt mentality,' signifying that I'm always a beginner - always learning, that is to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Of course so I can see the world from the eyes of locals! My experiences have always been better when I'm more in touch with the locals. I bore quickly of museums. I prefer the outdoors and being active, and if you can teach my the history of your area, that's preferred over a museum! Or we can just enjoy one another's company doing something we love or learning from one another.
