I'm a grad student who loves living out the Gospel, intentional conversations with interesting people, training for triathlons and the smell of of old books:)

Thoreau's my homie, and the moose my spirit animal--when not found in my school's library, I'll be climbing rocks, playing chess terribly, or geekily quoting poetry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm working with digitally networked communities for my thesis.

And, you know, think humans are generally awesome and enjoy meeting new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Finished a few Ironman 70.3 triathlons.

Teach, Learn, Share

"I went into the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, to learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." --Thoreau, from Walden

What I Can Share with Hosts

General optimism, positivity and meaningful conversations:)

Also, pretty rad baking skills.
