CURRENT MISSION

To meet interesting people, have great conversations, and see the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm currently a philosophy student at a small private university in Los Angeles, California, USA. Spring of 2008 I spent a semester studying at Oxford University and traveled all over the UK. And I plan on traveling through Germany and the Netherlands after this term is over. After that i'll probably go to grad school in philosophy and teach for the rest of my life.

I'm a fun loving guy with an easy laugh, but i'm not super adventurous. So this whole couch-surfing experience is definitely testing my limits.

PHILOSOPHY

I live for two things: Loving God, and loving others. Including in these things, I think, are helping those in need, protecting the environment, and basically loving everybody: everyone has a story to tell and I want to hear it.
