CURRENT MISSION

Adventuring to experience people and places and learn how to build a better community at home and abroad.

ABOUT ME

I am a warm friendly person who likes to be kind to strangers. I try to find and spread art all of kinds, including the art of good conversation regardless of language, from dive bars to museums. I also try to lend a hand when I can and know a few good jokes.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm going into medicine in the hopes of providing the basic health needs that will allow communities I am a part of to flourish and pursue their own interests. I seek to do similar things where I am even without medicine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a strong believer that sharing is caring. When I travel and stay on couches I bring as much hospitality and appreciation of my own as I can, and the numerous guests I've had before I even knew about CS would definitely agree that I work towards a positive feeling in the world community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was staying with my friends in Athens, I got to know their other housemates so well that when my friends left town I stayed on and went out with my newly found buds for another couple days and nights.

Generally this is the welcoming atmosphere I work on whenever I travel or simply meet new people.

Interests

Frisbee, music, art, new mountains and places, hot dogs, and new jokes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Two: I've been fortunate enough to reach the top of Kilimanjaro and the source of the Ganges.

Teach, Learn, Share

I studied the philosophy of science and it has led me to poetry and philosophy which I like to share and encourage in others.
