CURRENT MISSION

To be a citizen of the world

PHILOSOPHY

I'm here to build a personal philosophy and system of ethics that tie together all the parts of me into a coherent, peaceful whole. I believe that I achieve progress towards this goal by experiencing life in a way that is unrestricted yet purposeful and thoughtful.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed and hosted in Greece, Istanbul, and the US.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had a terrific experience couchsurfing in Istanbul and meeting people from all over the world! I have met couchsurfers in Athens and Cairo as well and hosted back home in the US. I also traveled to Bonnaroo 2008 with couchsurfers.

Centres d'intérêt

Art, music, relationships with other people- anything that lets me express myself and enjoy others' expression as well. I love philosophy and entertaining the "big questions." I also love science, particularly physics and biology and their relation to answering some of those big questions. I try to be as well-rounded as possible. I read, play piano, dance, draw, sculpt, and anything else that strikes my interest.
