CURRENT MISSION

Not to Worry!

ABOUT ME

I've been at one point and sometimes I still am: an environmental consultant, flower delivery boy, resident assistant for my university dorms, tutor, career center advisor, rower, fencer, mountain climber, resident hall 'Iron Chef', volunteer Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), writer for the school paper, founder of a non-profit organization, horticulturalist...
It's weird being asked to write all about you...
I'm a full time student.
I come from a big extended family.
I love to travel, try new foods, see new places, and meet new people.
Oh- and I don't smoke. That could be handy to know!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 30 days mountaineering (hiking, camping, and climbing) in the Wind River mountains of Wyoming with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). It was possibly the most amazing and defining 30 days of my life and I must have been crazy to do it... and if that's the case, i'm ok with being crazy!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would LOVE to learn some words in the language of whatever country I surf in. There's nothing worse than wanting to be polite and engaging but only being able to ask "do you speak english?" (I speak some french too).

I also really like to cook and eat new foods so if you want to show me a local trick or two in the kitchen or when you visit me and would like to cook up a storm, let me know!
