CURRENT MISSION

to learn as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I'm an independent, easy-going person. I love to cook and I love good wine. I'm interested in music, movies, eating, photography, biochemistry, and outdoorsy stuff. I just started climbing a few months ago and love it. I also like to swim and run and do yoga. I'm also sarcastic and sometimes witty and have been called intimidating, although it's all a front. If I tease you (or give you lots of shit) don't take it personally, it means I care.

PHILOSOPHY

treat others how you would want to be treated

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm in the middle of my Ph.D. right now and living in a small little city in Michigan. I might be able to host (I'd have to check with my roommate), but can most definitely show you around.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

very positive. although that's what everybody says, I'm not sure I'd admit it if it sucked.
