Grad student studying physics. Enjoy chatting about many things, life, politics, religion and just anything I can learn from. Spend too much time in dance floors and live music venues (Techno/House, Funk/Soul, Salsa/Reggae etc) and also climbing trees and getting lost in the woods..

I try not to plan too much when I travel, spontaneity is what keeps traveling adventurous. I try to learn about different cultures and societies and the histories of peoples while traveling.

Always looking for like minded travel partners for adventures..

Interests

Nature, I love hiking, backpacking and climbing, and just generally awed by pristine nature

Fundamental physics, that's what I study, and like to know how things work in the universe :) Which also make me interested in general ideas of philosophy and social theory

Also want to learn music, but barely know any.. trying to learn the guitar, and maybe to mix techno with ambient live music

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Many disney/pixar, Woody Allen movies, Charlie Kauffman screen plays and many. Recently 'Fences' and 'Manchester by the sea' were favorites

Best TV Shows are Rick and Morty and Firefly, hands down!! ;) [There are many real good ones these days, but those are special to me]

A lot of Russian novels and some science fiction

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting stuck at in a snowstorm! Couple of times when I went camping alone in a snowstorm, and climbed up with just running shoes and no jackets. I think it was fun, but then I was worried may be I won't be able to make it alive.

I was beaten and arrested by the UCPD for public disobedience. I was protesting the budged cuts and etc, and was arrested with 30 other people. It was the best feeling, that your name actually is in history for fighting for what is right.
