About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Graduate, Australia, begin rat race.

ABOUT ME

This summer is the last really big chunk of time I'll have to travel in the next year or two, so I'm going to make it a sweet trip. I'm clean, easy-going, and a good guest. Just looking to travel on the cheap and meet awesome people, like everyone else on this thing.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll let you know when I find one. Trying to find a balance between having a career and seeing the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't done it yet... looking forward to trying it out soon.

Interests

Hiking, biking, running, rock climbing, scuba diving, kayaking, getting into surfing a little bit. Pretty big smattering of outdoor activities, but I pick them up and drop them a lot. Haven't touched my climbing shoes in a few months, for example.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: David Sedaris, David Foster Wallace, Nick Hornby
Music: Anything. On a Daft Punk kick right now.
Movies: Lots of favorites, none stick out right now. I tend to like independent films better than those made for mass consumption.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had a dive in Costa Rica that was amazing. We saw some sharks, a huge school of manta rays, we swam with dolphins, and my dive buddy happened to be a NASA astronaut.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to be a better cook.
