PHILOSOPHY

this is tough. do unto others..no man is an island..i need to think a lot more on this before i hastily summarize my personal philosophy.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

my girlfriend and i plan to host some couchsurfers this year. soon we'll head to chicago and hope to surf with some nice people up there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i've met people who've had very positive experiences with couchsurfing.

Centres d'intérêt

i'm interested in cooking and the culinary world. i love to travel. for me, traveling began as a quest for adventure. that spirit continues, but i've found that the exposure to foreign cultures and people of different backgrounds has been just as rewarding and enriching. i'm also beginning to dive when i travel, when possible. i'm pursuing a medical degree diligently, and i hope to do some positive, good work in this field someday. i like progressive ideas and movements in general i.e. i like anyone or any group that tries to make something around them better.

i really like wes anderson films and smart scifi. favorite movies of the past year include inception and i am love.

i haven't had as much time to read in the past couple of years because of school, but i really appreciate and enjoy atul gawande. he writes on medicine for the new yorker. he's also got a few good books out.
