PHILOSOPHY

I am an existentialist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet fellow travelers. To help fellow travelers.

Interests

I love to take long, pensive walks. I play guitar and ukelele. I'm a researcher and a writer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: human communication (i.e. public speaking, interpersonal communication, intercultural communication, group dynamics). I teach what I most need to learn myself.

Learn: phenomenology (as a lingering facet of my doctoral studies).

Share: The Hitchens-ian, Hedges-ian, Chompski-an sense that society must, can, and will transform.
