ABOUT ME

I'm from a small island in the Pacific called Saipan. I go to school in New York City. I love politics and that's what I'll be doing for the rest of my life (I think). If not, I'll probably own a restaurant somewhere. Or better yet, a multinational corporation that will make me insanely rich. Yes, that sounds like a good plan.

PHILOSOPHY

I try not to judge people based on appearances or first impressions. I take things as they are. Sometimes I try to change them, sometimes I don't. Life is too short for me to be hung up on trivial matters. I tend not to worry about things. It doesn't make things any easier.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm just surfing. As soon as I get my own place though, I intend to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet.

Interests

Politics, reading, movies, sleeping, eating, Ultimate Frisbee, hanging w/ friends, photography. Fun stuff.

Why do I like politics? I like politics because it is one giant game, and that excites me. The legislative haggling, the backroom deals, the campaigns, international diplomacy, etc. It all comes down to strategy, and strategy games are my favorite games to play.
