Heyo! My name is Doug and I think reality is inherently beautiful! I love music, art, nature, travel, conversation, people, food, experience - add it all together, and you basically get everything. I'm a student. I have a background in philosophy and linguistics, and am entering my PhD in Neuroscience and Communication at the University of Pennsylvania.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favorite things are conversation and community. I'm on couch surfing to meet new people and explore new and familiar places with them!

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music: Music is an incredibly enriching part of my life. I listen to a vast range of things. If forced to name a group, I'd name Radiohead, especially their latter stuff. But again, I like a lot of music, including jazz, electronic, hip hop, classical, and more.

Favorite Books: I am a Strange Loop by Douglas Hofstadter.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Many life stories! Many philosophical reflections about the nature of existence! Silliness. I am quite silly. And some wholesome positive energy and perspective.
