About Me

CURRENT MISSION

constantly learning more about the people and the world around me

ABOUT ME

I love my pets, but I'm allergic to them. I give money to homeless people, even if I'm pretty much broke. I pick up hitchhikers. I try not to go off first impressions. I love to travel, and someday want to be able to do nothing but.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be the best person I can be: I help others when I can; I try to be courteous and cordial to everyone I meet; I'm generally pretty laid-back and easy-going; and I tend to go with the flow.

Right now, I'm working on bettering myself so that I'll be in a better position to help others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in London, which was awesome- other than that, I've hosted a few times, which I also enjoyed.

I've made some good friends through CouchSurfing and I've maintained some good friendships by surfing with friends I don't get to see very often.

Interests

love, the Golden Rule, police accountability, social justice, humanitarianism, music, dancing, language, science, the occult, meditation, introspection, METACOGNITION... and travel, of course

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ran with the bulls @ la Fiesta de San Fermín in Pamplona, España on my 16th birthday... did it again in 2005, but missed my b-day run :(

Teach, Learn, Share

I love foreign languages, though when I don't use the ones I know they tend to go to shit...

I'm all about cultural exchange and sharing experiences with those I meet.
