ABOUT ME

I'm always down for an adventure and love to be outdoors whether camping with friends, climbing, scuba diving, or just hangin out on the grass at the park.

PHILOSOPHY

Something I told a friend a couple weeks ago is that I want to be reasonably competent at doing everything. My reason for travel is basically trying to just have as many new and perhaps risky or uncomfortable experiences as I can, meet as many people as I can, and learn as much as I can, hopefully always keeping an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing seems to me to be perhaps the best way to come into a new place. It feels like no matter what, it's going to give you some kind of memorable experience

Interests

I'm interested in learning/trying basically anything but I particularly like music, fiction, and science. Soccer, tennis, and basketball are some of my favorite activities. I consider myself to be a pretty social person though occasional time to just think is also important to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

- Music is a huge part of my life. I have favorites from most genres (I mostly listen to rock, indie, folk, rap, and electronic), including James Blake, Sun Kil Moon, Kanye West, Danny Brown, and The Dirty Projectors. I like sharing and learning about new music too. I also enjoy making music whether on piano, guitar, bass guitar, trombone, or producing on my computer.
- I've been getting really in to the writer David Foster Wallace recently, and some of my favorite books in general are Heart of Darkness, Beloved, and Of Mice and Men.
