I am a vagabond currently backpacking Asia with a French girl I met in Cambodia. I've ben travelling for 40 months and I am not sure when I will stop. I love talking to strangers about their life, exploring the world and reading books on philosophy, economics, religion and science.

My current mission is to learn moee about genetic engineering and take a stab at curing aging. I also want to create some tools to make travelling life a bit more comfortable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because everyone here is awesome

Interests

I love people and our ability to experience existence through shared stories. I love just sitting around campfires or tables and discussing what it means to exist. I've attended meetups around the world, and sometimes consider myself a modern bard. Except I can't play music.

• hiking
• swimming
• science
• reading books
• salsa

Music, Movies, and Books

I typically enjoy self improvement and non fiction. Anthropology and psychology. I am enamored by the idea of enhancing human intelligence and creating new intelligences. I'm currently catching up on my knowledge of genetic engineering.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am not the best teacher but people seem to enjoy listening to me rant about my adventures and the people I met. The only thing worth sharing is my belief that the world is beautiful, and takes care of us if we are not greedy. I can also talk about math, physics and reality basically forever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Wonderful company, if I am lucky how to weave friendship braclet's but we'll see.
