CURRENT MISSION

To make meaningful connections with others who live under the sun in this amazing home called Earth.

ABOUT ME

I'm inquisitive by nature, like to think about everything at all, from the big picture to little details about life, I'm a philosopher, an artist, a scientist, an athlete, a writer, a musician, a photographer, and a lot of other things. I love living, I love loving, I believe love is the biggest blessing we have, and being able to share that with others is nothing short of a miracle. I don't fit into categories though, so to know me you have to spend time talking and having deep conversations. I'm not good at small talk, I love animals, dogs are my favorite, followed by seals and sea lions. I am motivated by doing good things, like hopefully helping people with my brain research. I could say a lot more, but I don't want to turn this into a book.

PHILOSOPHY

Will keep it short. Live to love. In my opinion, caring for others and living unselfishly is what can make us the most happy. We all have our different paths and resources, but with a positive outlook we can do the best with what we have. I strive to always be positive and share as much good stuff from me as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to contribute to the couchsurfing mission to broaden relationships among people, and to help out however I can for ones who like to travel. At the moment, I am unable to have people over, but I can still meet up with anybody who stops by my city (Richmond, VA, USA). Hopefully, in the near future I will be able to have a better place to have people stay over. For now I will try to get more involved with CS, travel, and make new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got 1st place in this super competitive Spelling competition in 10th grade in Texas (beat most of the state), which normally more senior students win (12th graders).

Teach, Learn, Share

Brain stuff. From psychology, some philosophy, to basic science. Some of this might not be useful for real-world applications, but I can teach about many topics people wonder about and by talking about it I am also quickly fascinated by it. It's my life-long interest to understand people, and by knowing how our past experiences affect our present behavior, I am able to be compassionate and empathetic. I also can teach how to play guitar, and that's fun for me.
As for learning, I love learning about anything and everything, so I wouldn't go wrong with meeting anybody who has an area of expertise. I'd like to learn how to speak Japanese, I'd like to learn more about backpacking and even this whole CS system, so that I can take full advantage of it.
