CURRENT MISSION

Trying to figure out how the hell the world (various societies) works the way it does.

ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm currently a teacher in Bangkok, Thailand. I'm spending a couple/few years away from academia to get hands on experience and knowledge of my academic interests (sociology).

To this goal, I spent the last year teaching living and trying to understand life in a small village in Thailand. Now I'm hoping to do the same in the big city. Next year, I may end up doing the this as well in a smaller city up north, to flush out my experience before heading back towards academia.

I'm a socially awkward misfit always happy to meet, listen to, and have a good time with new people.

PHILOSOPHY

Life (and whatever may or may not come here-after) is too full of uncertainties to give-up on experiencing it. It is the only gift I know for certain I have, and the expiration date on this gift has not been given to me. In the mean time I'm going to do my best to understand and have a meaningful impact on those people who I'm sharing this experience with.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to the CS Project, so I hope to fill this out more in the not-so-distant future.

兴趣

You know all the generic stuff people say when they're afraid of new people judging them: Meeting new people, drinking coffee and enjoying a good book, talking to friends over a beer or 8, being a computer geek, you know, normal stuff.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: I love cheesy fantasy/sci-fi/superhero flicks, but haven't watched many movies lately.

Music: I listen to classic rock of all varieties on my own, and go to clubs that play hip-hop. I'm starting to understand techno/trance/house etc.... kinda.

Books: I'm an avid reader of fantasy novels. I typically go through 3-6 books a month depending on their length.

This all depends on your point of view and your own experiences. Some things I've done would seem dull and drab to a certain group of people, yet completely fascinate another group with wildly different experiences.
