Self-definition is a challenge not only because of the difficulty to truly "know thyself" but also because it changes relative to context...

In a personal context; I am polite, interested in learning from other people's perspective and believe in the value of existing within a collective of people which I have a strong reciprocal relationship with.

I also make many stupid jokes which at some point most people laugh at, either with me or at me... hahaha

I am always respectful and helpful to others in their reasonable endeavors regardless of context.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I host or show folks around the city I am living in at the moment, which is currently New York and San Francisco. I went to university in New York, so you could say that I know it well enough to have some favorite places I like to share with the people who I think will appreciate them. I only really host in New York since that is where my apartment is.

兴趣

I have a degree in philosophy and am passionate about objectivity in ethics, normative ethics and ancient greek moral theories such as virtue ethics and stoicism.

I am also passionate about technology companies that build world changing products such as the Personal Computer, Smart Phone, 3D Printing, Smart Contracts, etc...

I am always excited to take long trips to far away places to risk both life and limb, mainly for the sake of adrenaline and an enhanced state of introspection.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I once swam across a lake to see if I could, but when I got across I wasn't sure if I had the strength to get back and when I did, I knew that I had almost reached my limit. Reaching one's own personal limits is the most amazing thing most people will ever do; class 4 rapids in Iceland in a thermosuit, kayaking to some place I am not sure I can come back from and more generally; being positive most of the time despite everything that happens to/around "modern man", thats a limit that seems to keep being expanded the more I learn about the world.
