About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out whether or not I can get paid to tell people what is right and wrong.

PHILOSOPHY

Philosophy? I'm going to try to make a career out of altering and changing people's personal philosophy. I'm a fan of Confucius, Singer and Socrates. I believe that people are inherently good and I believe we find meaning in helping others whenever we can. To do this however, I believe that we first have to see and experience the world in order to understand our place in it. What better way to start than to crash a couch?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I'm now settled in the US, I'm going to try hosting! I love the concept of Couchsurfing and I want to add to this community as well. So if you're interested in visiting the Bay Area, feel free to request my couch and I'll see what I can do!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a kindle with over 300 titles in it. I especially seem to be interested in reading non-fiction, but truthfully I just go through the NYT bestsellers and let the publication decide for me. I love listening to music by Jai Uttal, The Script, Overtone and George Winston and I absolutely love watching Bollywood movies and Bollywood dance performances.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught an english class for one summer in my home town and despite the fact that it wasn't in some exotic destination or that I was earning copious amounts of money, it was the most rewarding thing I have ever done. I love kids and I love teaching.
