CURRENT MISSION

Levitation, finding my next job

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent college grad who's now living in Ecuador and teaching kids that science, particularly biology, doesn't always suck (just often). I play music (guitar and banjo) and sometimes write songs and sing (fairly poorly).

PHILOSOPHY

The best way to live is not always by thinking about things in the abstract, but just by doing. Also, keeping your body active helps keep the mind intact and sane.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering up a bed in ecuador, I hope to contribute to the expansion of the couch-surfing project globally, and would also love to give people a little introduction to Ecuador when they come.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although no actual experiences with this couch-surfing system, I've done a fair share of sleeping in people's houses, riding in people's cars, and generally having somewhat intimate interactions with other people I don't know, which have been some of the best experiences i've had.

Music, Ultimate Frisbee, Philosophy, Mountains, anything that gets me outdoors, Biology, coffee, talking to people I don't know, reading books that are very hard for me to understand, language.
