About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To sample the best parts of life, abundantly. And eat your sushi bar.

ABOUT ME

I'm a mid-20s sometime-vagabond who has lived in three countries and traveled to bunches more. The most important things to me (aside from those I love) are travel, music, great books and great food. I enjoy being a part of an explorational global community and look forward to using CouchSurfing to add to my travel experiences and to meet fellow travelers.

PHILOSOPHY

The more we know about the people we initially perceive as most different from us, the more likely each of us is to change our minds and change our culture of division. Then we can work to add up to more than the number of bodies we occupy.
