Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To become a better citizen of the world.
ABOUT ME
I'm a student of life, always interested in meeting new people and having unique experiences. I love travel-- alone, in groups, where I live, and where I've never heard of. After 8 years in Cambridge, MA, and a couple years on the road (Brazil, Europle, and Washington, DC), I've come to NYC to study sustainable development!
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy is too big, and too swiftly changing, to fit in this margin. I strive to better understand myself and the world, to commune with the gods and the sciences that affect our lives, and to explore new diversity in and better appreciation for everything I encounter.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
After a great couchsurfing experience, I want to give the same courtesy to my guests and continue to experience new cultures through their couches! I have hosted several people and participated in couchsurfing communities.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started hosting a couple of a friend's couchsurfers, before I'd even signed up on the site. In Argentina and Brazil, I stayed on the couches of very nice people, and I hope to do more of it!
