About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore Europe

ABOUT ME

I'm an undergrad at the University of Arizona in Tucson, currently studying abroad in Budapest. I study math mainly, but am also interested in economics, music, science in general, philosophy, and art.

PHILOSOPHY

Hard to pin down... ask me about it. I seek out rewarding experiences and peace in my life, and a good time in general. A quotation:

"The explorer is the one who is lost."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this, and currently do not have a couch in my apartment but there some cushions available to the couch-surfing public. I would have to talk to my roommate about it first but I think he's alright with it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think I'm currently doing it-- spending a semester (I wish it were a year) in Budapest!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not sure how qualified a teacher I am of anything, but I'm more than happy to share my thoughts on and experience with math, music, travel, anything.

I'm interested in learning languages and anything unique someone has to offer. Learning anything is rewarding!
