About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Lose myself in southern Chile...

ABOUT ME

I am currently a student at Bowdoin College in Maine, USA. I love literature and history, though my love of the outdoors has compelled me to study geology. I am passionate about travel and getting to know cultures outside of my own, and I believe getting to know people from all walks of live is part of our purpose as humans. The human experience.

Anyhow, besides traveling as often as I can, and philosophizing (poorly) while I'm at it, I am a very easygoing guy who enjoys a great meal with great people, doesn't need much to be happy, and is very spontaneous in nature (which goes along with being somewhat of a procrastinator who is not the best at planning). I get along with most everybody.

PHILOSOPHY

That glass sure is half-full!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the community, and am eager to get to know the joys of CSurfing!

Interests

Literature, gastronomy, good conversation, the great outdoors (especially breathtaking geological formations), cars (and the racing thereof), winter and water sports, soccer (futbol), tennis, university studies, along with many others (including the obvious: travel).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driving the southern coast of Iceland with three university friends in a rental car was incredible... the plethora of sites was stunning, there were so many amazing things to see (along with my first glimpse of a glacier, sculpted by the spring sun).

Driving across the United States from California to Vermont... a huge country with incredible scenery.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have countless cultural experiences which I would love to share, and I am always more than eager to learn anything and everything I can.
