About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Keeping in touch

ABOUT ME

I'm currently living in Utrecht, Netherlands, studying Renewable Energy. Part of one of the four or five ways I'm working to save the world. And every time I fill out a box labeled 'about me' it gets more and more difficult.

PHILOSOPHY

I refuse to allow more than a certain amount of organization in my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

For about a year and a half after I graduated from college, I stayed on my friends couches all over the San Francisco Bay area. When you live out of a suitcase and the trunk of a car for a while, you get a very keen sense of what you can and cannot live without. Almost everything tends to fall into the first category, but I have discovered that I cannot be happy if I don't have bookshelves.
