Finishing degrees in pure mathematics, physics, and philosophy- so, I never have any time and almost no money, but hopefully that will change once I'm finished (almost!). If I don't turn one of my hobbies into a career, then I plan to go pursue a Ph.D. in mathematics or some related discipline.

I spend as much time outside as I can, and am almost always up for any outdoor activity- from water sports to camping/ trekking to cliff diving to just hanging out on a shore. For this reason my friends sometimes describe me as "adventurous," but, it's more about a deep- seated contentment , rather than a thrill seeking initiative. Although, both sky- diving and developing my alpine climbing skills are in the future plans.

I also have an affinity for satire, and comedy as a general art form. My father introduced to me to Monty Python and Mark Twain at a really young age, so I never had a chance otherwise.

I think that's enough to go on for now, I can save the rest for in- person conversation, and if you have any questions- just ask!

Made an account forever ago, but only now actively using it. Take a chance and be one of my first references!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've traveled all over the United States, and to some choice places in Europe and the Caribbean, but recently have committed to myself to make more time for exploring, so I've resurrected my couchsurfing account.
