About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet people, learn the things that make them tick, and use it to help me be better rounded as a person.

ABOUT ME

I am nice, respectful, and gracious. I love to learn about other people and other cultures. I have a SUPER wide variety of interests, mostly because i believe 99% of things intrinsically have their own validity. I believe honesty is of the upmost importance. if we are not honest with eachother, none of us will know what a real human experience is and we will always feel more isolated in our experiences. yeah

PHILOSOPHY

Live to serve, live for peasure. In the end, it's all you'll measure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

you name it, i have tried it or want to.

  • culture
  • socializing

Music, Movies, and Books

electronica, also any type of music done well with some originality to it. Two of my favorite books; Call of the Wild, Pride and Prejudice. but there are many many more. Movies, two i like all the time, Half-Baked and The Big Lebowski.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Too many to list, as i am sure this is the usual answer, ummmm, being in Rome, was life changing. To know that my civilization will one day perish and one day be studied is something that was esoterically comforting. Also i saw an orca eat a sea lion by beaching himself, right in front of me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English. I love to talk about personal philosophy, or anything that has been on your mind.
