CURRENT MISSION

To Really See and Really Feel

ABOUT ME

About me? I'm a dude like a lot others I'm sure you've met. I been making new friends since I was 2 and still really like it. I like to change my environment a lot to remind myself what I am like. It also helps me really see whats around me and really LOOK at things, which I don't think I do enough...I think I like to think a lot. I'm not really searching for anything, but want to just keep looking around.

PHILOSOPHY

Since Death is inevitable, there is no reason not to try Living for as long as possible. I live for the enjoyment of the present, for that is where we all really reside. I like to drink deeply from the cup of life, and if I ever stop running around I can just feel every cell in my body bursting with pure, utter ecstasy that is living.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new ti the CS2 project, though I have heard extraordinary things about it from my friends who have used it, so I wanted to join. I think it is a beautiful thing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't ever couch-surfed with a complete stranger, though a friend of mine here in Shanghai has been hosting his couch regularly, and I did kind of crash there at 4AM one night when I partied a little too hard...

Interests

I like science and nature and people. I like the brain, psychology and the study of memes. I like chemistry and atoms and math and junk, and I like people interacting together in large systems like Economics and countries. I like to read, make music, eat good food, meet people, conversate, and play video games. Philosophy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The end of the flight into Rio de Janeiro, flying low over mountains and oceans and boats and city, right past the Giant Jesus; The most breathtaking landing I can imagine.

I know a LOT about Judaism and Israel. I can teach some economics and basic science trivia and junk, and any language I can speak. I would love to learn anything i don't know yet.
