CURRENT MISSION

To learn. Everything.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and sociable person, and get along with just about everyone. People think I'm funny--I'd have to agree. I've been married since 2010 and a grad student since 2011.

I love to travel and meeting new people, yet have little time to do so while I'm finishing my studies. When I do get the opportunity to travel, I make the most of it by exploring the city, finding some ultimate pickup, and experiencing the local offerings (food, culture, beer, etc.)

PHILOSOPHY

Learn and teach and learn and teach and learn and teach...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'm new to this, I'll probably just surf at first, and possibly host at some point down the road. If you let me crash at your place, I will likely come bearing gifts of Frisbees and/or beer :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Noob.

Interests

I play ultimate. A lot. I like to learn anything I can. I love soccer, and follow Liverpool FC religiously. I like to cook, read, and stay active. I also thoroughly enjoy good craft beers; wherever I travel I make it my mission to visit local taphouses and sample the local brews.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

World record for longest game of Ultimate Frisbee (80 hours - this has recently been broken *frowny face*)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to become a better teacher, throw a frisbee, and use Photoshop, Illustrator, and SPSS. I can cook and introduce you to excellent beers. I can also share my expertise with developmental psychology, behavioral economics, statistics, astronomy, and english premier league soccer.
