Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To meet CSers, share life experiences, insights, philosophies, and culturally influenced food!
ABOUT ME
I just finished graduate school and recently started my own green energy business (which I'll talk at length about so ask with caution). I consider myself to be an engineer at heart, with the mind of a scientist, or some combination of the 2 disciplines. I enjoy doing outdoor activities, and train regular for the one triathlon I do per year. I own a car and a truck, and do most (if not all) of the work on them myself, even though I'm not a trained mechanic. I consider passion to be the greatest, most failproof motivator, so I try to be passionate about everything I do.
PHILOSOPHY
I believe that we live to better ourselves and our surroundings- we have to live in equilibrium with ourselves and one another, and without that, there's chaos.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I enjoy hosting CSers passing through, and showing them what I've seen in this city, and maybe taking the opportunity to experience somewhere new. I believe that this project is about making new friends from all over, and there's no better way of doing so than sharing an experience, or even just a meal.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've yet to surf anywhere, but I've hosted a few people, and had great experiences. I've shared interesting conversations, had a wonderful Russian soup, and hopefully made a good impression of Atlanta to all the surfers I've hosted.
Interests
Soccer (though it's really called football)- I started playing a few months ago and absolutely love it, and would love to find some sort of pick-up game everywhere i go!; tennis, cooking, the environment, recycling, languages, movies, NPR podcasts, healthy eating, finding new ways to relax
Music, Movies, and Books
Any genre (except trance and most techno haha). I'm partial to french films. and medical dramas
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was on a boat in Grenada a few years ago, heading back to the mainland, and a humpback whale came up for air right behind the boat. It was breathtaking.
