About Me

I'm very adventurous, I love exploring and finding new things and exceeding my comfort zone. I am an aspiring social anthropologist, which means culture is one of my favorite hobbies, whether it be food, language or just seeing how others relax. You will find that I am very easy going and willing to do/go almost anywhere.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to interact with the local population, I want to see and feel the nuances of every culture. I want to be apart of the population even if its for a day or for a month.

Interests

I love travel of course, reading/studying (I cant help it, I'm a nerd), weightlifting and just general fitness, martial arts, and dancing. There is something about dancing where i just get lost in the music, its defintiely one of my favorite things to do.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most types of music but I especially love house. But as long as I can dance to it and its not country its good.
Movies- there are too many to list among them are Star Wars, Indiana Jones, and most sci-fi films.
Books- The Western Illusion of Human Nature, Meditations, Phaedrus, Leviathan and most social commentary or philosphy books, I'm not really a fan of fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering at an elephant camp in Thailand. I spent a month in Northern Thailand working with local hill tribe people, planting trees, making fire breaks and tending to elephants.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach only whats true and ethical, learn with an open mind and heart, and share all with those willing to partake.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share great conversation, my cooking ability, and insight into other cultures. I can also lend a helping hand around, as I'm pretty useful around the home.
