CURRENT MISSION

to never lose my faith in human kindness and see the world of course

ABOUT ME

Just like everyone else I can't fit in a box.

I try my damndest to be an optimist. It's difficult with my self-diagnosed OCD.

I love travelling and all things foreign. Except mystery meat. I try my best to believe that everyone has a heart and wants to open it up to others. I understand self preservation though. I'm terribly jealous of anyone who is multilingual. In my youth I was too arrogant and ignorant to understand the importance of learning any other language and I struggle to learn a little bit from all of them.

right now i am struggling with Polish as I study at Jagiellonian university in Krakow, Poland.

My goal in life is to become a high school social studies teacher. I hope this'll make a small difference in my large country of close-minded, overly conservative idiots.

PHILOSOPHY

eat good food, get fresh air, exercise, learn things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm surfing. I'm also poor because I am a student. Someday I hope to live in a city charming enough so that I can lend my couch to some backpacker or curious person.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just had my first experiences a few months ago. I stayed with a couple of girls in Dusseldorf and they were darling. I also stayed with a wild guy in Belgium that showed me Brussels in probably the best way possible.

Interests

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

without affiliating myself with any sort of politik...seeing an African American elected as President of the United states was the most beautiful event i've seen in my life. next stop-a gay jew.

Teach, Learn, Share
