About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Attend the World Maker Faire 2012

ABOUT ME

I am an engineering Student from Texas A&M University who just arrived in Texas after spending some time in Latin America.
Having a father in the military has taken me all over the world and put me in contact with people I never would have had the opportunity to know otherwise.

Moving around so much has kindled my propensity to travel and stay mobile

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having just moved back to the states, I am currently on the hunt for housing. Once said roots are established, I hope to start hosting more.

Interests

I've always had an enigmatic love of science and engineering. Anything with gears, propellers,pumps, wheels, and lights, and lasers will put a smile on my face.

I also have a keen interest in biology and the natural world in general, and therefore, love to spending time in it, especially if its camping and mountain biking I would love to find ways to combine my interests and pursue some kind of green or environmental engineering

I enjoy creating things, be it through welding or gardening. I love motorsports, and always enjoy tearing down and rebuilding engine.

I love interpersonal relations and thoroughly enjoy meeting people from all over the world.

Skydiving is my latest interest and I've completed accelerated freefall and have 8 jumps under my belt.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent the last 6 months of 2011 in Bogota, Colombia and took a few months of Spanish classes Universidad de la Sabana. I loved teaching english while at my university as well

I also got to hostel my way around the country, and started skydiving there as well. Nothing like seeing the hills of Colombia from 11,000 feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can weld, stamp, mill, cut, grind, solder, and otherwise create! I'll fix anything mechanically unsound. I can pack parachutes, though you probably would be better off getting someone with more experience to pack yours for you.

All I need is to meet someone with wilderness survival experience and we can share our Apocalyptic survival skills.?
