ABOUT ME

I grew up in a small town in Vermont, and went to university in London.

I spent a year working a corporate job in London, before deciding to pursue more a more independent lifestyle. I enjoy the wilderness, rural areas, and having the freedom to wander and do what I please.

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy taking things slow. I believe good company makes for a good time, regardless of where you are. I enjoy getting to meet and know a variety of people.

I'm just getting started, but look forward to hosting and surfing!

Interests

Travel - but of course, that goes without saying. I've been traveling since I was young, and always try to see the local version of a place, whether that means sharing a meal, making a friend, or finding a hidden spot.

I follow and participate in a number of sports, ranging from American football to skiing, hiking, running, and back to proper footy.

I am passionate about US and global politics and international relations / foreign affairs; I'm happy to discuss all sorts of ideas and philosophies, and do so with passion and conviction.

I enjoy reading, and do so across a range of subjects and genres, everything from Hemingway to Tolkien.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a formal background in Economic History, and am happy to discuss economics and related topics. Saying I can "teach" economics would be a serious misnomer, as that implies economics is somehow a settled science. More aptly, I can discuss it.

I like cooking and good food, and am always eager to share or learn new recipes; I am particularly good at breakfasts and baking. I am also very interested in home brewing beer.

I also enjoy building stuff, especially carpentry. I am interested in learning more mechanical and engineering based skills.
