CURRENT MISSION

Learn as much as I can from as many people and places as I can. Ideally, I will also be able to make a living somehow.

ABOUT ME

Recently moved to Boston, MA, and would be happy to meet travelers and show them around a bit.

PHILOSOPHY

I think my philosophy is pretty well summarized by my current mission.

If you want to talk about the actual academic side of philosophy, I can probably do that to, but it'd be hard (and mostly pointless) to summarize all those views here.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've mainly been participating by meeting with people coming to my city, since I have no couch of my own to offer. I hope to be able to offer my own place to travelers once I get a place the US in a few months, though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My only actual surfing experience was a week or so in DF last April. It was great fun, and I definitely plan to seek out other CS hosts next time I'm on the move.

Intereses

travel (obviously), meeting new people, feminism, philosophy, human rights, and plenty of other stuff. I also enjoy collecting the phrase "I do not speak [language]" in as many languages as I can.

• human rights
• womens rights

Música, películas y libros

I find some enjoyable aspect of most kinds of music, especially if whoever's producing it is clearly skilled. There are some styles here and there that I don't particularly like, but even with those I could probably come to change my mind if I had some understanding of why you like it. A Simple Plan, however, unless you listen to it for irony, sucks.

The fiction I most often choose to read for fun tends to be sci-fi, but some of the most worthwhile novels I've read are in other genres. With nonfiction, my tastes are about as wide-ranging as they are with music. It's not unusual for me to read a book on theoretical physics right before or after one on something like feminism or evolutionary psychology.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

"Uncopyrightable" is the longest commonly-used English word in which no letter is repeated. More importantly, New Zealand has the highest per-capita use of corrugated steel of any country in the world.
