ABOUT ME

I am studying at Oxford University for the 2005/2006 year. Then I am returning to Boston to complete my degree and graduate. Inbetween I hope to learn life's important things: love, respect, reconciliation and aesthetics while having a freaking good time doing it!

PHILOSOPHY

I think life is a process of always becoming oneself. This self emerges in deep friendships as well as in spontaneous conversations with strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't surfed yet. Some friends down the street have hosted a few people though and it was clearly a great experience. Some of the surfers have even turned into good friends! Can't wait to try it myself!

Interests

I enjoy a good conversation over a vanilla latte or chai. I am interested in Greek vases, Andean music, existentialism, reconciliation, backpacking, social justice, current legal issues, modern art, independent radio, sushi, and dim sum.
