CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I enjoy thinking about philosophy, economics, science, mathematics, and social theory. I also enjoy talking about,listening to, and playing music of all kinds. I play the keyboard instruments and the bass guitar.

I am studying at the University of Tampere, Finland for the academic year 2009-2010 on a Fulbright scholarship. I graduated from Temple University, in Philadelphia, in May of 2009.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't take any wooden nickels

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

This is my first extended journey throughout Europe. I would like to see as much of it as possible, which includes meeting people most of all. Anyone that offers their couch to me, will have the same kindness returned when I actually have a couch to offer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My friends in Philadelphia got involved with couch surfing in 2004 and they had visitors almost every weekend. It was a great experience to meet people from different parts of the world. AND a perfect excuse for a party!
