CURRENT MISSION

To get across the Atlantic so I can start my new job!

ABOUT ME

I am a curious, friendly guy with a passion for learning. I am trying to see more of the world now that I have finished grad school. To that end, I will be working as a visiting lecturer at the University of Cape Town in South Africa for one year (and maybe more!).

PHILOSOPHY

I am lucky to make a living reflecting on various BIG QUESTIONS that are very important to me, such as: What is morality? What is right and wrong? Do people have free will? Is there such a thing as a soul? Etc. Socrates said that "an unreflective life is not worth living," and I agree!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now I would just like to try surfing. After I get settled in to my new home in Cape Town, I will open up my couch to travelers just as other hosts have opened their homes to me.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None so far. I'm brand new to this!

Interests

I enjoy dancing in various Latin dance styles--including salsa on1, salsa on2, salsa rueda, merengue, bachata, and cumbia. Being that I am a professional philosopher, I spend most of my time reading and I love it. I'm also very interested in international human rights issues.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Machu Picchu on a rainy day. I walked among the clouds!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach a lesson in philosophy or salsa. If one doesn't please you, maybe the other will.
