About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Make it home alive

ABOUT ME

I quit my job at an investment bank to go back to graduate school, but I decided I'd rather spend my cash on travel than grad school tuition. At some point I will have a blurb that sums up my life, but not right now.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working on it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until now, mostly meeting people through couchsurfing to go out for coffee or drinks, or see the city. I've been a member for a while but didn't really use it until I got to colombia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some really cool, friendly people and a few good friends that I still talk to almost daily. So far I've had nothing but excellent experiences.

Interests

Sports, seeing new places, learning spanish, reading, doing stuff with friends...standard stuff. I played the drums for years but they wouldn't fit in my backpack so they are at home, and I'd like to teach myself a more reasonable-sized instrument like mandolin or guitar. I seem to always find other things to do though...
