About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Revolutionizing career planning

ABOUT ME

I help people to work out how they can make the biggest possible positive impact with their lives, as the Director of a start-up non-profit called 80,000 Hours.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have met people for coffee and couchsurfed when I've travelled in Asia. In Oxford, where I study, I have hosted a couple of times.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed twice, but have used couchsurfing to meet lots of people while travelling. It's an awesome way to meet local people and I hope to keep on going.
