About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring what life has to offer and making some unforgettable (hopefully crazy) experiences along the way.

ABOUT ME

Namaste Everyone!

You will find that i'm an open and happy guy. I go with the flow as they say haha.

I'm a pretty easy-going person. I value diversity in my life, whether that comes from listening to all kinds of music, eating various types of foods, or balancing physical and mental activities (like sports and debate).

I am originally from Santa Monica CA, but I just graduated from the University of Chicago. I studied history and philosophy and am looking to go to Law school sometime in the future.

I'm currently traveling around Europe. I'm into lot's of things, music (especially deep house, berlin/chicago house, old school hip hop, minimal techno, and classic rock), sports ( I played soccer/ran track in college), and traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Life's about experiences, so live and let live.

I believe that acceptance of difference and otherness in people/cultures can change the outcome of our world. Difference is something to be celebrated rather than demonized. This is why I love the concept of couch surfing, because it allows you to celebrate the fact that we all come from different places and different experiences.
