Hi! I'm Justin, and I'm working on a PhD in psychology here in beautiful Worcester, Mass! I grew up in Maine, did my undergrad in PA, a Master's in Georgia, and now glad to be back in New England! I've also spent a semester in Ireland, a few weeks in China, and lots of smaller trips around the US and Canada. I meditate at the local Zen temple in town, and also recently started rock climbing and trying to teach myself the piano. I'm very laid back, enjoy a good laugh, and look forward to meeting new people!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My roommate has done lots of couch surfing, and we've hosted a few people so far -- I've made some really good friends through it, and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience! That roommate is moving out soon, and I'd like to continue the tradition. I also would like to surf some myself, but I want to build up some good karma first.

Interests

Meditation, reading, music, rock climbing, Dungeons and Dragons, walking, swimming, ummm...eating? sleeping? And any new experiences or interests I haven't been exposed to yet.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy a variety of music, from jazz to folk to EDM to jam bands to indie to rock. I haven't had much time to read for pleasure in a while (what with the whole grad school thing), but I used to read a lot of epic fantasies.
