CURRENT MISSION

It doesn't cost a damn thing to be nice. Bring a bit more beauty into someone's day.

ABOUT ME

I think a lot.

I am an American student studying for a year in London.
4 adjectives: curious, creative, warm, melancholy.

PHILOSOPHY

To live the examined life. To find Truth (and hoping Truth = God).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I am studying abroad, and taking advantage of the proximity to firsthand cultural exchange experiences that a poor landlocked American student doesn't get much chance to have!

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmm.. I know a basic tango, Chinese, acting theory, some songs on piano/guitar/ukulele, how to question the framework for your life, cooking.

Would like to learn: whatever you can teach me. Love picking up other languages.
