About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore the world and understand what bonds us all as people.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Sean. I quit my job a couple of months ago which was terrifying, because it was pretty cushy and nice. But I felt trapped at my desk and dreamed of traveling again. Now I'm a freelancer and that lets me travel and work.

I've met some of the most wonderful and inspiring people while traveling, and I'd like to keep meeting more. The people I meet while traveling have reminded me that humans are not born with prejudices and hatred--and it's possible to live without them, which is a beautiful thing to remember sometimes.

I'd like to involve myself in social entrepreneurship-- and effectively find sustainable solutions to world problems, which are many.

I'm not so good at describing myself (have you tried? It's painstaking), so check out my references for a better description.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to update my views on life very often and take the best and discard the worst aspects of different philosophies. Basically, I'm just trying to figute it all out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By meeting the coolest people doing the coolest things all over the world, being hosted and hosting them.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a bunch of people at my home in Los Angeles and met up with couchsurfers in Amsterdam, San Francisco, and Seattle.

I've also hosted a guest for six months in my home.

Lately, I visited Manila and had a wonderful time with all of the couchsurfers there. You guys rocked.

Interests

Design, particularly sustainable design
People-- what they have to say, what they've seen and done, and what they want to do
Emerging technologies-- I'm interested in technology that can solve our myriad of global problems

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all music, but lately have been listening to a lot of electronica, as it is good music to focus with.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rafted the Nile while spending a month in Uganda doing work

I met an incredibly awesome group of Russians on accident in Amsterdam and learned so much

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about web design, or design in general, maybe a thing or two about social media advertising and management.

I'll talk your head off about entrepreneurship if you let me.
