About Me

I am open minded and love to learn. At the moment I'm a student studying engineering and computer science, so I can't offer to host but I definitely plan to host once I have a house of my own.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience the culture of the places I visit through the eyes of the people who live here permanently, not just through the lens it is presented to tourists.

Interests

My interests include hiking, backpacking, canyoneering, climbing, skiing (snow and water), ultimate frisbee, violin, and computer programming.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love classical music (if you want to be specific, my favorite composers are Bach, Brahms, and Mahler), jazz, downtempo electronica, and some pop.

My favorite movies are those that make me think—bonus points if they have action, but definitely not required.

I'm currently on a bit of an Orson Scott Card kick, enjoying his Ender's Game series again. I'm done with the first of his Empire novels, but haven't started the second yet. In general, I love Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Isaac Asimov, Chaim Potok, and various non-fiction.
