About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"Peculiar travel suggestions are dancing lessons from God"

ABOUT ME

We are both undergraduate students at Southwestern University in Georgetown, TX, US. Most of our CouchSurfing experience is used for finding places to stay during conferences, both nationally and internationally. We are smokers, drinkers, and lovers of life. We both enjoying engaging the theory in literature and philosophy and how they do or do not apply to (actual) life. We both plan to pursue doctoral degree programs after graduating from Southwestern University in the spring of 2011.

PHILOSOPHY

[always changing]
[no gods, no kings]
[contrary hopefully for something other than contrary's sake]
[maybe just smoke and mirrors]
