CURRENT MISSION

Saving for the next Big Thing. Stay tuned!

ABOUT ME

A thoughtful American. Really interested in the things that unite us across borders, languages, and cultures. Interested in art in all of its forms.

I really dig the whole philosophy of Couch Surfing. One of the things I'm working on is recognizing abundance in the world, and this project is such a wonderful exercise in that!

PHILOSOPHY

Let the rats win the rat race. Seriously though, oddly enough, for a student of philosophy I don't have much of a personal philosophy as such. My ideas are a mishmash of academic ideas, things I've learned from others, and things I've learned along the way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed in Malaysia, Germany, and Portland - currently negotiating with my roommate to do the same in Brooklyn!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome experiences in both Malaysia and Germany. CSers are awesome!

Interests

Photography, philosophy, independent living, reading, learning about new cultures, economics, critical theory, carpentry, good food and good wine. A bit of this and a bit of that. :)
