About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To escape RI and see a bit of the world

ABOUT ME

I was an economics student, the dismal science, and am a future accountant so I'm trying to mix it up a bit and get some of the excitement to be had. I love to cook and I tend to go through phases where I have to cook stuff from various regions of the world. I've been delving into Lebanese foods that my grandmother (the only non-British descendant) used to make. As far as what I do for fun I like to shoot pool, dance, movies, hiking, theater and playing sports that I'm terrible at. I'm also a classicaly trained singer, tenor, and am fond of all sorts of musical theater and opera.

PHILOSOPHY

To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I don't have a couch but I have met many excellent people through meetups and events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Some local meetups and lots of things in Paris.

Interests

Life and all that other stuff I wrote already.

Also I tend to get passionate about political issues, morality, sustainable development, global and regional economics, all about the global recession, and of course, food, fun and love.
