CURRENT MISSION

My life goal is to see the Seven Wonders of the Modern World; I've seen two so far. Otherwise, I just want to encounter as many interesting people as possible, and learn as much as I can about the world, and the way people interact within it.

PHILOSOPHY

People are most important: being happy and taking care of each other is key.

I find that psychology and communication are some of the most interesting topics. I love watching how people interact with one another, how they come to believe what they do, how people communicate what's in their head with the rest of the world, and how it is perceived.

I also like math, and seeing the humorous side of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I first tried CS while looking for things to do during an impromptu trip to Melbourne while I was studying abroad. I had the best experience, and I can't wait to see who I meet next.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to meet people who have a different world view than mine and who have had different experiences. What better way to learn about the world than through someone else's eyes?
