Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To travel the world and meet interesting people in the process.
ABOUT ME
One of my primary passions is cinema (particularly horror & foreign, but I love all kinds of films). I also like philosophy (I teach philosophy), reading and learning about pretty much everything. I would like to further my traveling endeavors and meet fun, interesting people. I consider myself to be easy going, kind, polite, respectful and understanding and would be delighted to host or surf with fellow humans of the world! I also love animals of all kinds (with a particular emphasis on cats) and would love to meet your pets, too!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Planning a trip around the US and would like to meet new people, become more familiar with areas and further expand my horizons. I haven't done much couch surfing - I've mostly stayed at hostels and the like (across Europe and parts of Asia), but I would like to better be able to befriend new people to learn more about them and their travels, ideas, worldviews etc.
