About Me

CURRENT MISSION

keep learning

ABOUT ME

I consider myself a serious advocate of social change for the betterment of our society. I just finished law school, where I focused my energy on my passions: human rights and the environment. Now I am off to Londontown to focus more on those passions. I also just finished a 4-month trip to South America, where I experienced many wonderful new cultures, people, landscapes and ways of thinking. I hope to continue on my journey of going to new places and meeting new people, because I believe we all have a lot to share with each other.

PHILOSOPHY

no matter how it ends. no matter how it starts.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I just got done experiencing the wonderful hospitality by several fellow CS'ers. Now, I hope to follow their good example by passin' it on.

Interests

The outdoors - I spent half of my first 20 years on earth in a swimming pool. I also heavily dabble in backpacking, mountain climbing, rock climbing and bicyclng.
Learning - I just finished law school, and I am coming back for more. But this time I am focusing my brain cells on my passions. I'm always looking for the next mind-opening book, news article or conversation.
