About Me

I have been described by friends as nice, adventurous, honest and loyal. I am a researcher in happiness and well-being. I did my undergrad at the university of Houston in philosophy specializing in existential phenomenology. I also have a MA in philosophy from the University of Copenhagen specializing in ontological-phenomenology of the happiness paradox. I love to read and discuss ideas yet I love to laugh. Perhaps laughter is necessary for the kind of research I do, lol.

While i am a bit of a nerd, i am also outdoorsy. Half the time, I prefer to be outside when the weather is beautiful. I do not fit in my environment very well as I live as a democratic-socialist in a conservative state. I recycle, I am a vegetarian, and am generally environmentally conscious. One of my favorite things to do is have a nice cold/warm drink with good company and share our thoughts and ideas.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
