Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To Climb every mountain in Scotland
ABOUT ME
I am getting an MBA from Thunderbird School of Global Management, and since it is an MBA in Global management I would like to understand how the rest of the world thinks and acts. I am attending one semester of school at the Helsinki school of economics. I love to climb mountains. i have climbed in many places around the world including China. I love to visit museums, see movies, and any other active sports. I will be working in investment banking this fall in the UK. I am not the bookish type, but I like to invest money.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is to be lived. It is far too short to be lived on the couch, therefore, i do not own a TV, so I have never had the opportunity to sink into a couch too deeply. I would rather build three companies, than talk or read about building three companies. Books are to emulate, not to worship.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I participate by doing things with people from other cultures, particularly painting sea shells and putting them back in the ocean. I also enjoy going to the theatre, opera, and symphony. I like learning about new cultures and new things that people can teach me. After all I am attending, Thunderbird. The global MBA school.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first experience was couch surfing in Helsinki, Finland at Henni Ahvenlampi's flat. It was great! I got to learn all about Finland, and the cultural exchange was awesome. I reccomend everyone couch surf whenever they can. Since I have had such a positive experience... i now want to couch surf wherever I can.
Interests
Soccer, fishing, football, baseball, rock climbing, reading and Politics.(no just kidding)
I like reading books. action, mystery, suspense-thriller, and comics. There is nothing deeper sometimes, than a good batman comic book.
I also enjoy reading investing books, and attending auto shows. I have attended auto shows every year of my life since I was 8 years old.
