About Me

PHILOSOPHY

Living in the country with the largest military budget, the largest per-capita greenhouse gas emissions, the longest record of imposing neoliberal policies abroad, I find meaning contributing to the creation of a more just, democratic, sustainable, and peaceful future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to help people pursue a fulfilling alternative to the alienating, commercial lifestyle promoted by consumer capitalism. I want to enable people to travel, share their experiences, and learn from one another, while building community and having fun.

Interests

Environmental justice, participatory democracy, dismantling institutional racism and classism, peace advocacy, replacing imperialism and exploitation with cooperation.
