About Me

CURRENT MISSION

finding the fine tip of balance to hold oddly shaped rocks which appear highly improbable and impossible to balance perfectly together in a stack

ABOUT ME

made out of atoms which were created inside stars, just like you actually :) Same same, but different.

PHILOSOPHY

I see myself as a tiny part of the vast universe - a single neuron in the global mind, a cell in the body of the universe, a wave in the ocean. I live my life with the bigger picture in mind, and try to forget the illusion of seperateness by re-membering our oneness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Building trust, cooperation, kindness, and generosity between strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I love exchanging thoughts, stories, and ideas with random strangers. Refreshing!

Constantly balancing appropriate levels of trust and distrust depending on the physical environment, the people around me, and my own physiologic state. Both unconditional trust and unconditional distrust are pathological-the former is gullibility that makes us targets for predation while the latter is paranoia. Either one is maladaptive when navigating through the sea of strangers in modern societies.
