CURRENT MISSION

moving to portland!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26-year-old male moving to Portland in June to start a PhD in Computer Science at PSU. I like to cook and bake and brew kombucha. Omnivore, but v*-friendly, especially when it comes to cooking. cis-gendered, queer-friendly. Non-smoker but not judgy about it, 420-friendly, but think it's a downer when people make a whole lifestyle out of it and/or let it keep them from doing the things they want to do. I moved to Brooklyn after graduating from Grinnell college in 2009 and worked as a software developer for 3 years. I bike and jog and climb rocks, and go on camping/canoeing trips (not so convenient in NYC).

PHILOSOPHY

be direct, calm, and communicative about your feelings and receptive to the same from others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some great experiences surfing, always impressed by how open and warm my hosts are. It's really the best way to travel.
