I'm a big nerd!

I love learning and talking about many many things, and I don´t believe that being a jack of all trades makes you master of none.

I believe you can learn anything you put your mind to.

My recent favorite movie is Pacific Rim, and if you haven't checked it out you should! It is reminiscent of the old school Godzilla movies with a mix of modern sci-fi.

Anyways, I'm traveling in search of, well, myself. I'm from New York City and was enrolled in NYU studying Mechanical Engineering, but I felt like I was just trucking along with everyone else and had no idea what I wanted from life.

I deiced to drop out in my last year and started working different jobs. I worked as an English teacher, math teacher, and swimming instructor and a number of other things. I even ran a few companies briefly, and started my own, but I am still new to doing business and haven't had much success so far.

Please let me know if you would like to have me as your guest, I would be honored.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To see the world, things dangerous to come to,
To see behind walls, to draw closer,
To find each other and to feel.
That is the meaning of LIFE.

Sapere aude

Interests

My little sister once told me that the meaning of life is to find the meaning of life.
