About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Find a graduate school to study astronomy!

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent graduate from the University of New Brunswick, in physics. Now, I am riding my bike from my home town of Rothesay as far west as I am able! I have done very very little travelling in the past, so this is my first real adventure into the outisde world and I want to see as much as I can.

update: March 19th - Bike trip ended a long time ago. It was loads of fun! Plenty of stories to share over a beer or coffee or water :P

PHILOSOPHY

The world is full of awesome things and awesome people and you need to check as much of it out as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couch surfing by doing a lot of surfing! On couches! I have skills in important things like cutting vegetables, frying them, and eating them. If you have leftovers that you do not know how to deal with, I am an expert at taking them off your hands (and plates). Also, I can smile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed on a few couches! Most of the people I stayed with were on Warmshowers. They were loads of fun! I had a couch surfer stay at my place in September, also from Warmshowers. I have had nothing but good experiences to date!

Interests

I like to ride my bicycle! Also, I'm somewhat of a geek. I like science fiction, science fact, video games, board games, table top roleplaying games, and hitting things with sticks (usually as a demonstration of acoustics).

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy most music, but my favourite stuff is symphonic power metal bands, like Rhapsody of Fire or Kamelot. I love concept albums! "Gods of War" by Manowar is one of my favourites. The Flaming Lips don't fit into the above category at all but I enjoy them too.

"Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" is an amazing movie that everyone should watch. That's all I have to say about movies.

I love anything but Larry Niven, Isaac Asimov, and Douglas Adams. I enjoy other authors too but those are my favourites! Hard sci-fi is the best but comedy is good too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode my bicycle from Fredericton, New Brunswick to Hamilton, Ontario. I met loads of people and saw a lot of things and had a blast! I recommend everyone try it at least once :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can solder electronic equipment! I may not be very good at it, but darn it, I'm determined and it will get done! Also I'm pretty okay at baking. I know how to bake bread and like to do that a lot especially! I can bake cupcakes too but I don't remember that recipe off the top of my head. But upon request I can remind myself!
