CURRENT MISSION

To live life and enjoy my 20s

ABOUT ME

For the time being I am a university student first and foremost, studying for a degree in English Literature and a degree Philosophy. I am an extremely pensive and adventurous person. Passion and conviction drive me, and I love to live impulsively, within the lines of reason.
Impulse reminds me I'm alive and reason reminds me to question life. I'm just making the most of what I've been given: a heart and a mind!

PHILOSOPHY

These people have said it better:
"We must dare to love, to feel for something -someone- else. And when that final kiss of life -death- comes, we musn't hide, but rather go joyously into that good night." ---Dave Foreman

"Whether it's good or bad, it's sometimes very pleasant, too, to smash things." --Notes From Underground

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Over this past winter my friend and I travelled through London Berlin and Paris, couch surfing at each stop. All I can say is that we were hosted by some pretty amazing people who transformed our travels into more wonderful experiences than we could've hope for. Couch Surfing really is the way to see the world.

兴趣

In addition to books, I love music. I've spent way too much money going to live shows and to put it simply if my house caught fire my vinlys would be the first things I save.
I like picking up random skills, so when I started college I begain working in an organic restaurant as well as a community bike shop, both of which I've come to love.
Other than that my interest include writing, drawing, swimming, and hiking when it's nice.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I stayed in a small village in the English country side this past winter, and my host took me on a early stroll through this ancient church and cemetary. The morning was misty, ice blanketed green green grass, and the sun was just starting to rise. It was the most beautiful setting I'd ever seen or experienced.

教，学，和分享

I can teach others some bike repair skills, some Spanish, some English, and even some Cooking skills

I would love to learn new languages and any other cool things you know.

I want to share my love of literature, music, art with anyone as impassioned by them as myself!
