About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To get on my own two feet, and (later) spread the love of Columbus

ABOUT ME

Well, to begin with: I'm extremely extroverted once I've gotten acquainted with someone, and tend to be very blunt at that point as well. I also tend to not sleep for very long, averaging about 4-6 hours per day. I love travelling to the point that I've spent a quarter of the past year outside the States (though the last bit's part of the reason I'm not in a good place right now).

Aside from that:

- I'm a bit of a Canadaphile: I enjoy travelling to Toronto and Ottawa and want to travel to Vancouver, Calgary and other points in BC and Alberta, I love poutine and ketchup chips, and I even interned in Parliament for a while earlier this year.
- On a related note to that, fair warning: I've got several socialistic tendencies that will only show up if you discuss non-scientific aspects of politics, economics, or geography with me.
- Also on a related note, in the far future, once I've got enough saved up I intend to open a poutine restaurant franchise in Columbus if someone hasn't already beaten me to it
- In my free time I'm a giant nerd for video gaming and anime to the point that I've attended conventions for both, though the video games I've been *playing* have been restricted to Diablo and League of Legends lately.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just joined, but until I get a new place here I intend to attend events and participate in Cbus groups; after that point I'll likely be able to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Most recently surfed with friends in Toronto and Rochester last month so I could put off immediately coming back to Ohio from an internship, absolutely loved it
