About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change things up

ABOUT ME

I graduated college 6 months ago. Since then I've been travelling a bit (mostly in Asia). Now I've moved to Boston and I'm loving it.

PHILOSOPHY

I am one person who happens to be me. I'm stuck that way, just like you're stuck. You get a grand total of one body and one mind. When you really comprehend it, it is both the saddest and the most beautiful fact you can ever know.

I only know it sometimes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met some great people through Couchsurfing while in Indonesia. Now that I've got a home and couch I want to host people in Boston.

Interests

I'm a big fan of reflective conversation. The topic doesn't matter so much as sharing thoughts. My favorite way to spend time is holding late night conversations on childhood, politics or how language shapes culture etc.

I also cook, play guitar, hike, lots of exercise and enjoy a few drinks.

I'm terrible at foreign languages, but I'm trying to work on my Bahasa Indonesia.

I've been teaching myself to cook over the past two months. I'd love to share my new skills or learn some of your recipes!
