About Me

Lifelong learner with a passion for humanism. I enjoy learning languages and contemplative practices. I love spending time on creative projects and in the outdoors. In pursuit of the Truth, the Good, and the Beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to find out how locals live, what locals consider normal (NOT TO HOOKUP). I’m hoping to meet like minded travellers who’ve opened their minds from the exposure travel provides.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite books are different classics. From philosophy, The Critique of Pure Reason is a gem. From literature, Brave New World as I frequently ponder the effects of digital media technologies.

I like Indie, Jazz and house music.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’d be willing to teach anyone interested about some of the philosophers whose ideas have enriched my life; but more practically, how to cook a top notch fried egg sandwich. It doesn’t sound that appealing, but trust me.

I would like to learn about culture by encountering them directly to understand the role communities play in shaping worldview.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a good conversation with an open and curious mind.
