Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Travel Europe, learn new languages, and save the world
ABOUT ME
I'm doing a master's in Environment Policy at Oxford and hiking through England as much as I can.
PHILOSOPHY
Pluralism: differences are good, everyone has a point but we also each have our own blind spots. All the more reason to get together and look at the world from someone else's perspective.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Providing expert guidance on how to find people who know more about this city than I do.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
A vacation isn't worth it if you don't meet people at the destination, and I've been lucky enough to build friendships around Sweden, Denmark, and Germany.
Interests
Watching the sun play off the ocean calms me down, and learning something new and interesting fires me up. Over the past few years, I've been doing my best to understand how the world works so that I make it a little better, or at least more interesting.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'll just have to go with one favorite from each: Movies, Dead Poets Society; Music, Couer de Pirate and Deep Dark Woods; Books, non-fiction is probably A Geography of Time, fiction, maybe Syrup by Max Barry. I don't read enough fiction, to be honest.
