CURRENT MISSION

World Peace - which entails building a completely new system of governance and economic means of exchange that internalizes 'externalities'.

ABOUT ME

I am an explorer, a thinker, a conversationalist, a mediator, a vegan, a writer, a dreamer, and peace proponent. I am interested in experiencing new cultures and norms, new foods (vegan :-), new activities, and meet new people.

PHILOSOPHY

True happiness does not ebb and flow, it just is.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Traveled to Taiwan in Nov/Dec 2012 for two weeks. Met a couple dozen awesome people through hosts, surfers, and those close to them.

Interests

I have recently found a passion for writing. I've been using facebook as an outlet but will probably start a blog or perhaps start writing a book. I have explored many subjects since completing a master's program in nanoengineering. Everything from economics, and the debates between Keynesian and Austrian schools - of which both are wrong in light of principles discussed in Sacred Economics by Eisenstein, to the topics of Liberty and The Commons more recently formulated under Agorism.

This last summer I became a hiker, doing my first two peaks of the Adirondack 46. I enjoy being out on the water, either in a boat or beach. I really like to dance.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most surprising awestruck moment I've had is during skydiving, after pulling the parachute - it is one of the most silent moments one will ever experience. (Actually my tandem pulled it, haha)

Other amazing moments, or perhaps progression of moments, has been in my understanding just how true, 'we are all one'.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am open to teaching anything that I know. From the shared words of Alan Watts and Rumi, to the concepts of money and mediums of social exchange, to the history and future of mankind.
