I'm interested in intersubjectivity and altered states of mind. Figuring out how to apply my STEM experience to making people feel better and solving coordination problems.

Kind of nomadic at the moment. I enjoy long contemplative walks in solitude, and building things.

I care a lot about reason and deliberate action. Life is a journey of self-improvement and discovery; one should be constantly trying to grow as a person.

I'm pretty good at reading people. I meditate a lot and love delaying gratification. Lately I have been considering moving to Nicaragua. You would be impressed by my ability to ask awkward questions. I find absurdism and post-modernism very entertaining.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Traveling is fun but it's better when you meet interesting people. I'm very low maintenance and I'd rather sleep on a haystack than stay at a 5 star hotel if that means making a cool friend.
