ABOUT ME

The world fascinates me.

I enjoy good beer, interesting conversation and sharing food and music with people.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't like to finish things. I have a lot of questions. Open-ended questions and answers don't bother me.
I enjoy work. I'm naturally a bit messy and disorganized.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to host, provided I can convice my roommate. I would love to meet up with fellow CS-ers in Indianapolis as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed with Erin and Ryan and it was very nice. I recommend couchsurfing to lots of people, and hope to host or surf sometime soon.
I've stayed at lots of peoples houses across the States though (not through couchsurfing though) and I definitely prefer it to hotels.

I also went to a CS event in Wien and it was very good! I met some really interesting people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the ocean is always amazing.

I love the moment right as I walk off a train or bus or plane or boat into a new place.

...I haven't seen one yet, but I think that seeing a childbirth would be one of the most amazing things ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning to think for yourself: Active self-education, reading informational material, keeping up on current news. Being informed, not just about politics or economics, but about current and past philosophical and sociological trends, how people have lived and loved throughout time, and all the other things we can learn about each other.
I know a lot about childcare, and somethings about building furniture, DIY, and sewing. I'd like to learn more life skills such as natural healthcare, herbalism, and cooking.
