CURRENT MISSION

Right now, I'm looking to experience: to do.

PHILOSOPHY

This is a work in progress, as I believe it always should be. As I stand now, I believe that one should experience all aspects of life to the greatest extent possible; don't be swallowed by familiarity, nor afraid of change. Strive for a better world: be altruistic, it very well may be the most important human trait. Go after what you want today, not tomorrow; it's too easy to say that things will be easier tomorrow, but they likely won't be - live your life now. Do what makes you happy; as the Dalai Lama says, happiness is the meaning of life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now, I'm about to leave on a semester study abroad program in Italy. So, I'm looking to travel to different places in Italy and Europe, and meet different people through CS, to some extent. In the future, when I have my own place, I want to host people as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took a night trip down the Amazon River in Brazil. I had a three-hour conversation with a fairly new friend, with nothing but the starry sky and dark river around us. Our group slept in hammocks. I guess that was alright... haha
