CURRENT MISSION

Visit new places, widen my horizons, meet interesting people and in so doing become a better person myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live each day learning new things, questioning my assumptions, and refining my sense of self. I hope to have a great long life ahead of me and want to make the most of it: see new places, try new activities, hone my talents into something useful and, following my personal fulfillment, contribute something to society.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had any couchsurfing experience yet, but am very excited to start.

Interests

Philosophy -- metaphysics and epistemology in particular [how we absorb information, how information is disseminated through society]. I like discussing ideas in general.

I like reading comics (especially nonfiction), and nonfiction (specifically science).
