I’m a reflective, down-to-earth person that wants to experience and understand as much as I can about myself and this world while I’m still alive.
Interested in Nature
Interested in Philosophy
Fluent in English
Learning Spanish
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I’m hoping to meet the world; to share some of myself with others and take in whatever they have to teach
Music, Movies, and Books
I mostly enjoy listening to folk - bob Dylan, Neil young, tallest man on earth, Mississippi John hurt, etc. but I’ll listen to mostly anything. I love most movies, but I particularly enjoy mind-benders and films with a powerful symbolic structure. I love to read. Psychology, philosophy, and religion with an existential bend are my favorites. However, I’ll read anything to learn something interesting.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I once witnessed the northern lights stretch across a dark sky on a snowy night in Iceland as my brother stood beside me
Teach, Learn, Share
I teach psychology classes as an adjunct, so I love discussing big ideas. I want to learn about everything and everyone. It seems like my curiosity never ends. I’d love to share my world with anyone that’s interested. I’m an open book.
What I Can Share With Hosts
I’m a humanistic therapist by trade which makes me a good listener. My focus is on dialogue, so hopefully I can share a good conversation!
My Interests
My curiosity is seemingly infinite
