About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reaching deep, and loving what I never knew I could

ABOUT ME

I am a student currently studying at Taylor University. I am a philosophy and sociology student and love to have deep conversations. My beliefs about the world and people influence my behavior deeply (though not deeply enough in some areas of life, sadly). I tend to have a very prominent inner-dialogue which, when shared with others, usually makes people laugh.

I Love music. Notable favorites would be John Mayer, Oasis, Copeland, and other less famous ones like The Weepies, Sufjan Stevens, The Innocence Mission and Andrew Bird.

PHILOSOPHY

People are so beautiful. How am I so lucky to be able to interact with them?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I travelled to Ireland and Spain with a friend while I was studying in Lithuania. I am also open to a cup of coffee or tea, or a hot meal with a traveller if they are near my school area.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It has been great so far. I stayed in Ireland and Spain with three hosts and loved it immensely. It was very interesting getting to know the culture and places from such an interesting perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

Oops, I already listen some. But just for fun:

Sufjan Stevens, The Weepies, Innocence Mission, Andrew Bird, The Royal Tenenbaums, Breakfast on Pluto, The Motorcycle Diaries, Lord of the Rings: Return of the King and others :)

Books? Well I'm not as read as I'd like to be. Earlier in life, I was a bit of a C.S. Lewis aficionado. That has worn off, though just a bit, and some other favorite books would include Works of Love by Kierkegaard, First Philosophy By Descartes and The Working Poor by David Shipler.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Umm, hmmm.... The Grand Canyon is amazing. It's largeness seems unreal. New York City from a plane at night, so many people! The beaches of El Salvador.
