CURRENT MISSION

Finding love, inner-peace, harmony, and happiness

ABOUT ME

I'm a recovering travel addict. I spent 30 months traveling continuously from 2011-2014 and it was life-changing. I couchsurfed a ton, and those people I met along the way left a stronger impression on me than many of the places I visited. In the meantime I got my PhD and became a professor, but mostly so I have summers to travel ;)

My website is http://www.HappinessPlunge.com

PHILOSOPHY

The golden rule
Leave the earth giving it more than it gave you
Be the change you wish to see in the world
Take the path less traveled - the happy one!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm here for the people. I met some of the nicest, warmest, most inspiring people across the world through CS. When I moved to Denmark I also met a lot of wonderful people who eventually became friends through CS.

音乐、电影和书籍

I like lots of movies, but I think now I prefer inspirational stories more than rampant violence or cheesy romantic commedies.

The book The Power of Now changed my life for the better, and I share it here so maybe it can help change yours for the better as well!

I can also teach stuff about the oil industry, renewable energy, English, business, management, math, science :) I have traveled a lot, so I could probably help with travel planning.
