I'm in the middle of a trip across the country!

I enjoy freedom, living carefreely carefully, learning about the world, spending time with friends, drifting aimlessly, playing games especially those involving rackets, boards, books, or even rocks.

I'm a graduate student in economics, with a special interest in surviving as a species. Food, waste, climate change--important things. Specifically, I'm considering fossil fuel subsidies at the moment but I'd like to do many things with my life. Where to start...

In the day time I'm usually at the university of washington, and I tend to return home late. Friday I'll often go dancing, and on the weekends anything goes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm new to Couchsurfing, and open to odd experiences, but generally to meet people ~ for learning and fun. Expand my experiences, broaden my perspective, learn to speak less grandiosely of course, and generally to connect and 'grow'. Discussing ideas, doing things, dancing and goofing off sound pretty good to me. I tend to be a bit of a generalist, but recently I've been specializing in economics (whatever that is).
