About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To spread guacamole throughout the galaxy

ABOUT ME

My plan in life at the moment is simply to travel to as many places, meet as many people, learn as many languages, and experience as many cultures as possible. To see the world from as many points of view as I can manage to attain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The world is too filled with misunderstandings, generalizations, stereotypes, and false assumptions about other people and cultures around the world, many times with catastrophic results. Sometimes people do not understand that in order to even try to solve a problem, you need not only good intentions but personal familiarity with the problem, and without both, you might end up making it worse.
I see it as my mission and responsibility as a citizen of the world to try my best to reduce these misconceptions to a minimum on myself and those around me and to try to motivate others to learn more about the world, travel, and keep an open mind.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Figuring out that if you find yourself in a situation where you are completely lost, stranded, and confused, with no means to help yourself, and the only thing that could save you from your situation is the kindness of a complete stranger, you will never be disappointed, no matter where you are.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy discussing pretty much any topic I am familiar with, and learning about any I am not. The more people you meet and places you see the more you grow and learn, and I am of the opinion that you can never learn ALL but you can also never learn ENOUGH.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a big fan of culinary exchanges, cooking with and for people is always a great experience
