CURRENT MISSION

To love people and to do what I can to alleviate the misfortunes of others

ABOUT ME

I love people. More than that, I, especially, love the people who society deems as undesirable or even as "unlovable." None of this comes from me, rather my desire to love people is only from Christ. I am not a judgmental, right-wing, conservative, Christian, either (not that all conservatives are judgmental). I am open-minded, accepting, and I love to include those who are excluded from society.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short. My personal philosophy is guided by love, but not a love that comes from me, rather it is guided and propelled by a love that comes from God. Because God loves all of humanity, I believe that all human beings are inherently valuable and precious, and should be treated as such.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am completely new to CS. Such an amateur. I am going on a trip with my school and afterward I want to travel, so I decided to go on Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none yet.

Interests

I love watching social justice documentaries, especially those on the Civil Rights Movement of the 60's in the U.S. I am very interested in seeking Justice for the oppressed. No joke. This is my passion. But I also like hanging out and having a good time, relaxing with friends at a pub, park, or at their apartment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am awestruck by the amazing things that God has done in my life (i.e. I'm a kid from a very poor background who is now at a very good school with a full-ride scholarship!)
