CURRENT MISSION

How to change the world, through FOOD! I believe that food is the ultimate way to bond with people. Additionally, I believe people's first introduction to a new culture is through their food, which encompasses history, norms, and much more.

ABOUT ME

A jack-of-all-trades, I can pretty much get along with anyone and I can have a conversation on pretty much any subject. I like to learn a little about everything. I've never really been a person who is an ace-of-all-trades, hence I am a jack.

Ignore me and my lame puns (don't worry I don't come up them very often). However, I do enjoy a good pun!

I love to eat out. Favorite cuisines are French, Italian, Indian, and Japanese. Favorite food is ramen.

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think things out rationally and as objectively as possible.

I am the type of person who likes to be frank and confront people about something, even if it is an uncomfortable subject.

I like to think of myself as a chameleon, very adaptable. My personality allows me to talk to and communicate with virtually anyone.

I think world peace can be achieved through truthfulness and disclosure, the ability to compromise, and being overall a good person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first couchsurfing experience: AMAZING!

My first time, I surfed Victor's couch in New York. He is a GREAT guy and took the time to show me around New York. Another host, Robert, that I was unable to stay with at the time, was nice to invite me to his place to cook me a home-cooked meal. AMAZING. AMAZING. AMAZING. When I get my own place, I hope to pay it forward and do the same for others, what a great community.

Interests

In my free time I love to take pictures with my camera. I think it is amazing how we can 'eternally' capture a moment to look back on.

I love to read books on behavioral economics and evolutionary psychology (especially on physical attractiveness).

Love to eat fine dining. I have been to 24 Michelin-starred restaurants.
