May the travel gods be kind 🙏

I CS to meet people like you!

I enjoy hearing peoples' stories. I love to talk, to interview people, and to hear stories about life around the world. I have seen extreme riches and extreme poverty. Question me about anything and I will share my honest opinion!

I am also easy going and simple, but I love to explore and see how people live in other parts of the world. Also, if you host me, come to New York and let me host you :) I have hosted 24 people in my house through my university.

Philosophy: We should try to listen to everybody's stories and feel compassion for everybody's suffering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To reconcile conflicting parties, we must have the ability to
understand the suffering of both sides.
If we take sides, it is
impossible to do the work of reconciliation.
And humans want to take sides.
That is why the situation gets worse and worse.
Are there people who are still available to both sides?
They need not do much. They need do only one thing:
Go to one side and tell all about
the suffering endured by the other side, and
go to the other side and tell all about
the suffering endured by this side.
This is our chance for peace.
But how many of us are able to do that?
---Thich Nhat Hanh
