CURRENT MISSION

Travelling

ABOUT ME

I am in graduate school studying medicine in MA so I do not have a lot of time to spend with those surfing at my place but would love to be able to host you and a friend. I live with my partner who is also into couchsurfing and very open to meeting new people and learning from others.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy has been influenced largely by the various works of authors I have listed in the books section of this profile, most notably Noam Chomsky, and by jazz music. My worldview is constantly reinventing itself and is best addressed in person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in CS by holding the ideal of community building to a high standard. This is the purpose of my involvement with CS and with the extra energy I have, I try to encourage community growth within and outside of the CS world.

Currently I do this best by hosting surfers/travelers/friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hung out with surfers hosted at a friend's house a few times. I have just finished surfing across America and I plan to host surfers when I settle.

Teach, Learn, Share

If I have the time:

I would be more than happy to facilitate an info. share on consensus decision making.

I am a novice at Dugeons and Dragons and I feel comfortable teaching others how to play and how to facilitate or DM a campaign.

Otherwise I have plenty of resources available for reference and self teaching.
