Essentially, what I want to work on is being a traveling philosopher where I travel to different countries and ask people of all ages, ethnicities, economic backgrounds, religions, etc. philosophical questions such as: What is the meaning of life? What does it mean to be good? And what ethical criteria do you live by? I want to see how people from around the world answer these and other philosophical questions. I created a YouTube channel called 'Examining Life' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1IDhO9KJM8 and an Instagram: Examining_Life.

I earned my undergraduate degree in Philosophy from Southern Connecticut State University and my Master's in International Relations from Webster University. While in school, I studied abroad in seven countries and have visited many more. I have experience as a solo traveler to Hong Kong and Singapore.

I can't wait to begin my journey and hear the wisdom that many people have to share.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am couch surfing because I want to get to know locals in the countries that I visit. Much of the work that I will be doing abroad consists of speaking to locals about their personal philosophies and outlooks. Also, as a solo traveler, I want to join a community of other travelers.

Music, Movies, and Books

My two favorite music genres are dancehall and bachata. I also listen to Ghanaian music and some Chinese music.

I'm not big on movies and shows, but I'd say my favorite movie is Seven Pounds. I like to watch a lot on YouTube, primarily travelers (including Travellight, Psycho Traveller, and Traveling Sista), Al Jazeera English, Geography Now, The Financial Diet, and Top Tenz.

My favorite books are: Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics, Sartre's Being and Nothingness, and Locke's Two Treatise of Government.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach about philosophical theories, world affairs, and finance.

I am interested in learning about people's outlook on life and their answers to philosophical questions, such as: What is the meaning of life? What ethical standards do you live by? What is beauty?

I can share stories and pictures of my past travels.
