CURRENT MISSION

Live, everything will be fine.

ABOUT ME

They would probably say that I am outgoing, almost to a fault. I am always trying to meet and talk to new people; this might be a vestige from my upbringing in the midwest (Minnesota Nice is no exaggeration). I generally just like to have a good time.

PHILOSOPHY

Policy analysis (I was all over the Health Care debate, I must've refreshed my browser 50 times when the SCOTUS made its ruling)

Wondering about the universe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Completely new. Hopefully be able to meet new and interesting people. Eventually, I would like to host

Interests

I am an college student studying Applied and Engineering Physics at Cornell University. In my spare time I work do some pro bono work at a student run organic farm. I like reading The New Yorker and watching movies (Just watched Pan's Labyrinth last night; it was fantastic). I am pretty outgoing and always eager to try new things, hence CouchSurfing!

Books: A Brief History of Time, Fun House, Heat of Darkness (my favorite)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming at the base of Ithaca Falls in New York

Seeing a moose while canoeing with my dad in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (It was bigger than the canoe, and swimming!)

Teach, Learn, Share

People who like to have a good time! And I mean this in a multitude of ways, I like doing outdoorsy things like hiking, canoeing, and rock climbing. Watch movies. Drink occasionally. You know, the standard things :)
