About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am a Grad Student at the University of Michigan. I like to read, travel, talk about economics/philosophy/politics and eat. I am also very adventurous and experimental with my eating. After graduating in December in 2011 I traveled for 5 months. First Couchsurfed last year in Zagreb and loved it.

PHILOSOPHY

Suck all the marrow out of life

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Scaling a hill in Edinburgh (for which part was a cliff) with people from my study abroad program which lead to a spectacular view of the city.

Hiking several trails in Lake Tahoe, which lead to stunning views of Emerald Bay and magnificent waterfalls that were off the trail and my first experiences getting truly lost in nature.

Watching the sun set over the Matterhorn at over 11,000 feet.
