CURRENT MISSION

Take my wonderful experiences from the past 5 years and tie them together in the best way possible: traveling

ABOUT ME

I study math, science and engineering and also try to teach it.

I am proficient in navigating subways, picking out music, making cheap food, helping friends make decisions.

Bad at:
Navigating buses, finishing books I start, organizing, and making my own decisions.

I am a lover of knowledge of any form. Books, movies, people, situations, yoga, etc. The most important thing I think one can do is to understand other people.

A bit of basic information about myself:
I am a 30 year old American male, born in the Northeast US, raised in the suburbs of Texas, interested in computers, physics, music, psychology, and learning new and interesting things.
I once considered myself to be a high energy introvert, but continue to become more and more extroverted as time goes on. There's not much that a person could do that would really bother me, as far as living situations go . I have been told that I am picky about food (don't typically eat fast food). This does mean that I like cooking fresh food--the more people I cook for, the better!

I love tea, coffee, wine and beer, but especially tea. I am always trying to drink new and better liquids.

I like books, good food, good conversation, when things get a bit out of control, bike rides, exploring alone, and all of those typical things. I am often neutral about drinking, smoking, dancing, but can be tempted.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is a tragedy for those who feel but a comedy for those who think."
-Horace Walpole

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

I let myself be homeless for a night in Switzerland.
Also, the homeless in Austin have taught me a great deal.
Finally, my baby sister impresses me greatly.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I know things about how computers work. Also lasers (kind of).

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Cooking, an obsession with all sorts of music, and, if you're interested, a perspective on conservative Americans (I grew up amongst them; typically don't agree with them).
