CURRENT MISSION

Trying to leave the world a little better than I found it.

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think they would say I am an incredibly passionate person, occasionally to my own detriment.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll take anything but apathy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a shared house with several non-CSers. However, I will try to make space for those who need it in Berkeley, especially those who share at least some of my political / social principles!
Also always game for practicing my (terrible) Spanish and French.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One short hitching trip through Central Europe.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I shouldn't misrepresent myself: I am a boring graduate student who spends most of his time reading books and staring at word documents. But if you meet me, be sure to ask about hitch-hiking out of Poland with a cadaver, having maggots surgically removed in Uganda, or why I can't really go back to South Carolina.
