CURRENT MISSION

Make music/ travel/ keep it together

ABOUT ME

Well, dang.

The main source of joy in my life is tramping around the world, and playing music. I like folksy acoustic tunes, though just rediscovered the joys of amplification. Long distance bicycling is my new preferred method of travel.

I'm opinionated, an environmentalist, and a scientist, but mostly am just fascinated with people. Their victories and defeats, joys and fears. I like to get to know people when possible, and really love the feeling of being empathized with.

PHILOSOPHY

The hardest thing in life is to make your emotional self catch up to your reason.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a bunch of people at my apt. in NYC city over the 3 years I lived there, and have benefited many times from others letting me crash, so I figured I should get on the CS.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I hitchhiked from Fairbanks, Alaska to Montreal, meeting the mot amazing people of my life.

Now I am about to relocate to Germany, but to do it will be biking across a good chunk of Europe.

教，学，和分享

My biggest "extra curriculars" are brewing, biking, and playing music. I also know a good amount about physics, though a lot of the time, I'd rather not think about this when my arm isn't being twisted by a twisted professor.
