I'm a philosopher, a human rights activist, and a spiritual being.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I want to really experience the place. I'm not into superficial touristy stuff but instead want to live as the people live, know the history, and become part of the community in the brief time that I'm there. It's also cheaper.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite band is Linkin Park, but I listen to everything from orchestral and world music to heavy metal and rap. My favorite movie is The Fountain. I enjoy action, horror, and anything thought provoking. I enjoy reading Plato, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Kant, and a lot of fantasy/Sci-fi such as Brandon Sanderson and Alan Moore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Humanitarian trips to Guatemala and Nepal. LDS mission to Oklahoma. Working with the homeless population of Utah.

Teach, Learn, Share

"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root." -Henry David Thoreau

Myself, all that I have learned, and of course a grateful helping hand.
