CURRENT MISSION

To see the most beautiful places in the world, to meet different people, and to find love wherever it can be found.

ABOUT ME

Just graduated from Dartmouth College, and I'm off to UCLA in the fall. Don't have a couch now, but I will when I get there.

I currently live in Austin, Texas, but grew up in rural New Jersey.

PHILOSOPHY

It's funny; I'm basically a Nihilist; I don't really believe in much. But as a result I take life as it comes, and take joy in the small things. Also, it means I don't judge people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Wherever I am I try to offer what meager floor space I have to travelers, but more often I'm looking for places to stay when I'm traveling internationally.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm semi-frequently abroad; I lived in Japan and New Zealand for three months each (and hope to do some more exploring before too long. Didn't actually end up using CS much, but it's good to have the option.

I've also shown people around and offered them couch space in the past.

Interests

I tend to have odd hobbies, like juggling knives, eating fire, climbing trees, making jewelry, and taking class notes in Elvish. I'm a pretty good skier when I get the opportunity, and I'll kick your ass in a game of Backgammon.
