About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Personally, its my job to make sure the world doesn't take itself too seriously.

ABOUT ME

Currently a Peace Corps Volunteer in Senegal. I got a room I can host but limited internet availability.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy can not be explained so simply. The best way to identify it is to label it a mixture of objectivity (Ayn Rand), Realist political thought, existentialism, and a love of all that is savage and animal. For more of a detailed explanation, bring on the brewskis!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm traveling the world one border hop at a time, and am always more than happy to help others find a place to stay.

Interests

My interests are more of a motley collection of stories and odd skills. I love to read, to travel, and to discover something new within myself. I'm also down for bonfires, long walks, rowing, and generally being outside and active. I enjoy discussing philosophy, economics, and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and artists beneath the radar. It depends on the mood, but I'll kick it to alt rock, death metal, blue grass, and post-punk. Ultimately, whatever you have playing, I'll be air-guitaring to.

As far as books are concerned, I will read most anything, from informational packets sitting in the baskets on the backs of train chairs to fantasy epics. Recommend me something!

I don't really believe in cable TV, but if its on Netflix, I've probably watched it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hmmm, attended Obama's Inauguration!
Have traveled to Belize to study Jaguars!
Have been living in a small village in Northern Senegal for the past year!

Teach, Learn, Share

Moringa Oliefera, a close relative of horseradish, has immensely nutritional leaves, on par with spinach. Best part is, its a tree, and thus the leaves can be harvested all year long and have a slightly spicy taste.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Belize, Mexico

Countries I’ve Lived In

Senegal, United States
