CURRENT MISSION

To become a true citizen of the world, and have a hell of a time doing it

ABOUT ME

Good day, I am a senior at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I live in a fraternity house on campus and I am itching to do some more travelling soon.

I work hard in my classes and my research for NASA and honestly probably drink a little too much on the weekends. I also have a strange habit of getting drunk and talking about physics and astronomy.

In my travels I realized what a unique cultural experience a fraternity house is so I thought I would try to give the opportunity to stay, even if it's just for an evening, to as many surfers as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

I am open-minded, reasonable, and stoic. I question everything and try to see things from other perspectives, always in the pursuit of truth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first used couch surfing when I was backpacking through Europe at the tender age of 18. My sister and I stayed at a guy's place in Munich, Germany. This guy was awesome and he had an adorable 6 year old kid that was obsessed with Chuck Norris. The first night he got so drunk he passed out while we were out and wouldn't answer his phone or the door so we had to sneak into a hostel that was overbooked and sleep on the floor. However, the next night he took me out to a bar and poured spectacular German beers and vodka down my throat all night. He tried to hook me up with a German prostitute at least 25 years my elder too. Anyways we stumbled all the way back to his apartment (he was on crutches by the way) but after struggling for at least 5 minutes realized that neither of us were sober enough to turn the key in the door. We had to knock and yell until my sister, extremely pissed that we woke her up at 4am, let us in. The next day was the most hungover train ride I've ever had to experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So many things...ask me in person!

In high school my friends and I built a working scale model of a Roman catapult and shot flaming tennis balls across the school courtyard.

I got pretty drunk with some friends on the Great Wall of China during a monsoon. In the morning we got really lost in rural China trying to find our way out and stumbled upon an Opium Den.
