CURRENT MISSION

To learn and to do small, but good things.

ABOUT ME

I smile a lot and if you get to know me, you may be graced with a folk song or an imitation of a snorting pig.

PHILOSOPHY

Kant, Wittgenstein, Plato, Dennett, Chalmers, Quine, Sellars, maybe some Nietzsche and Kierkegaard soon...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is the best thing to hit traveling since budgets airlines. It is still much better than Airbnb!

Interests

I like people, human migration and the study of it, music, travelling, second-hand books, drinking coffee, philosophy, drawing, studying Amharic (Ethiopian), and vegetarian cooking.

Music, Movies, and Books

Wonderful. I just finished reading White Teeth and some Rorty while listening to Colin Stetson and Alice Coltrane, respectively.

Also, secretly I am Amelie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking with a friend around Iceland for two weeks, camping in a Tesco-value tent, and hearing the sound of blue glaciers groaning beneath us. We were rescued from severe rain one night by a monk who lent us a couch in the country's only active monastery.
