CURRENT MISSION

Saving and paying off student debt in hopes of supporting a permanent lifestyle of wandering.

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area after teaching English in Belo Horizonte, Brazil for 10 months. I am currently teaching at a public charter school.

PHILOSOPHY

"Behold, I have discovered this," says the Preacher, "adding one thing to another to find an explanation, which I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these."

"Since the general civilization of mankind, I believe there are more instances of the abridgement of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachment of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hosted a number of people when I lived in Sacramento years back. I used to go to the regular CS meetup in Belo Horizonte when I was living down there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am still an infant in terms of this project but have surfed on about three occasions and all my hosts were gracious and socially engaging so we had a good time each and every time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossed the equator on a vessel in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. The water was as smooth as glass.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy history and politics. So anyone with any knowledge in that arena would be ideal.
