PHILOSOPHY

I live my life to improve the lives of others, directly or indirectly. My goal is to be an Economist for the IMF to set economic policy to help out lesser developed countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am a college student, and thus have no money and still live with my parents so i'm not able to host. But i love showing people around town and having a good time! If you find yourself in Los Angeles with nothing to do i've got my hands in many pies to have all sorts of fun.

Interests

I love oldies Frank Sinatra type music, i have almost encyclopedic knowledge of song lyrics from the era. Alternately i'm interested in business, finance, and economics along with art, history, and science. Pretty much if i can learn from it i enjoy it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm pretty decent at most things, I know a lot about a couple things, and a little about a lot of things. Economics and business is what i'm majoring in. But i'm well read in classical literature. I'm reading my way through history. I started with the Epic of Gilgamesh and have been moving forward. I'm around the Canterbury Tales at the moment.
Also i've studied chiropractics and natural healing with a Shaman and am more than willing to pass on a couple tricks or help heal a host.
