ABOUT ME

Such a tough assignment. Let me think about it for a bit...

PHILOSOPHY

Boredom is fatal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have a couch. But fair warning my place is old and has no central A/C, so it is quite hot during these blistering Texas summers. Other than that, I am glad to help out in anyway I can.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just getting started. A friend recommended CS to me recently.

Interests

I study the sociology of religion, so I am very interested in how various people deal with existential and spiritual questions. Also, I love social theory, especially constructivism.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu at sunrise, an Umbandan spirit possession, went to a party attended by the president of Uruguay, two weeks living with a refugee Tibetan Lama in the south of Brazil, probably some other stuff, but I can't think of it right now

Teach, Learn, Share

I really dig this idea. I would be willing to learn almost anything somebody is willing to teach me and I am willing to teach anything I know, which at the moment is mainly sociology.
