CURRENT MISSION

Do all the good you can, in all the ways you can, to every soul you can, in every place you can, at every time you can, with all the zeal you can, for as long as you possibly can.

ABOUT ME

The most important thing for me is the cooperative model. Applying direct democracy and cooperation to every aspect of human existence is my long term goal. I also enjoy martial arts and collecting skills.

I used to work as a medical caseworker with refugees and am trying to learn Arabic.

PHILOSOPHY

I am not an activist. I am merely alive. The word activism implies that it is abnormal or irregular to care about ones common man or to believe in doing what is right. Stop calling it activism. That way, anyone who doesn't associate with justice and truth will realize finally that their lives mean nothing, because they are not truly alive.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can host people and I hope to travel more and more.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Still a NEWB. At least in the couch surfing department. I have thus far hosted one couchsurfer officially but my housemates have hosted many. Generally Buffalo only really gets internationals coming to see Niagara Falls.

I havent been able to surf at some one elses house through couchsurfing yet but plan to in the future.
