Overview
About Me
Self-definition is a challenge not only because of the difficulty to truly "know thyself" but also because it changes relative to context...
In a personal context; I am polite, interested in learning from other people's perspective and believe in the value of existing within a collective of people which I have a strong reciprocal relationship with.
I also make many stupid jokes which at some point most people laugh at, either with me or at me... hahaha
I am always respectful and helpful to others in their reasonable endeavors regardless of context.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I host or show folks around the city I am living in at the moment, which is currently New York and San Francisco. I went to university in New York, so you could say that I know it well enough to have some favorite places I like to share with the people who I think will appreciate them. I only really host in New York since that is where my apartment is.
Interests
I have a degree in philosophy and am passionate about objectivity in ethics, normative ethics and ancient greek moral theories such as virtue ethics and stoicism.
I am also passionate about technology companies that build world changing products such as the Personal Computer, Smart Phone, 3D Printing, Smart Contracts, etc...
I am always excited to take long trips to far away places to risk both life and limb, mainly for the sake of adrenaline and an enhanced state of introspection.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I once swam across a lake to see if I could, but when I got across I wasn't sure if I had the strength to get back and when I did, I knew that I had almost reached my limit. Reaching one's own personal limits is the most amazing thing most people will ever do; class 4 rapids in Iceland in a thermosuit, kayaking to some place I am not sure I can come back from and more generally; being positive most of the time despite everything that happens to/around "modern man", thats a limit that seems to keep being expanded the more I learn about the world.
