CURRENT MISSION

To have one last big adventure before I return to school!

ABOUT ME

I graduated from college in 2004 and have been working and living in New York for a few years. This summer I will begin medical school so I hope to do some traveling in the meantime. I'm a musician, a scientist, and a philsopher. I love to talk to people, to tell and hear long stories and silly jokes, and of course to discuss the meaning of life.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to gather as many different experiences as I can during this short time I have on our wonderful planet. I have found the best experiences are meeting other people and learning from their lives, so CS seems like a great way to fulfill this philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not sure what to put here - I think I would like to host guests but I want to see what CS is all about first. Trying to make some friends in Europe right now, especially in the Netherlands.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am totally new to this.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you all about the mind, the brain, the way people think and function, and how our experience relates to the physical world around us and inside of us. I'm a very curious guy so I would be happy to learn anything you can teach me.
