CURRENT MISSION

Learn lots, don't judge, seek happiness.

ABOUT ME

I'm Nate, I'm 18 now, and I love to travel but sometimes can't afford a hostel or hotel every night. I'm currently a freshman at college, planning to major in Astronomy / Astrophysics, but I also have a lot of interest in music and Japanese (I've been playing jazz guitar for a number of years, and I studied Japanese in highschool and spent a month in Fukuoka as a foreign exchange student). I'd love a little last minute help!

PHILOSOPHY

Be a good person, and it'll come back around. And it just feels good to act in the interest of others instead of just yourself.

Interests

All kinds of stuff, but I guess my biggest interests/hobbies are Music, Photography, Japanese, Science, Math, Literature, and travel.

Teach, Learn, Share

Neptune was discovered in 1846, but since then we've never seen it do a full orbit. It's only gone about 3/4 the way around.
