CURRENT MISSION

To change my perspective. I want to learn more and explore!

ABOUT ME

I'm a tall guy who likes to smile :)
I study psychology and child development at college in Boston, MA and I like working with kids a lot.
I believe in experiencing new things, no matter how old I get. I really like sharing music and stories with new people. I'm a pretty relaxed person.

PHILOSOPHY

Tough question.
I believe in learning. I think it's the key to everything that matters in this world. I believe that my purpose in the world is to live as full and as beautiful a life as I can live. :) I study learning because it is the key to understanding myself, other people, and what things in this world will make myself and others happy.
I love explaining my philosophy. Ask me if you're interested in learning more :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My favorite way to participate is listening. Though I do like making dry jokes every once and awhile. :)
I communicate mostly with my face, my body, and music. I don't always talk a whole lot, but that doesn't mean I'm not saying anything :)
I like making sure people are having a good time. Sometimes that means being protective, if there's an unpleasant situation. At other times it means I get to act silly (which I really like to do). The things I like the most are laughing and sharing and I love helping beautiful moments like that come to life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't couch surfed that much, to be honest. But I've got no problem sleeping on the floor or in a new city. I'm excited to get started :)

Interests

Having a good time with people is the best. :)
I like to getting to know people in different ways- making music together, sharing stories, having an adventure.
I'm usually most content with just a few people at home, talking and laughing, but I also like being a little crazy sometimes- doing irresponsible things or going dancing. As long as I'm doing things with people I like, it doesn't matter so much what things I'm doing. :)

• dancing
• music
