CURRENT MISSION

To boldly surf where thousands have surfed before.

ABOUT ME

Myself in few words...hmmm.

I like to think I'm modest, but I'M PRETTY MUCH THE MOST LAID BACK, COOLEST PERSON EVER, OKAY?!?

But really, I'm just a guy from California studying at Yale for a few years, hoping to stuff some laws into my brain.

Come hang out!

PHILOSOPHY

Much of the world is not down to frolick and that's too bad.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing and spreading the love.

Oh, and I've convinced a few friends that CS isn't a haven for murderers. That helps the cause, I guess.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I was in Barcelona, I got mugged real bad. Some football hooligans beat me up till I passed out, taking almost everything (they left my cards and passport, though; how kind!). My host, a saint/savant named Daniele, nursed me back to health, talked me through the stress, and made sure I knew I was welcome to stay as long as I wanted.

That experience reminded me poignantly that life's worst tragedies are often accompanied by its kindest moments.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

The universe exists. There is something rather than nothing. I don't get it. In a speechless, gaping jaw sort of way, I don't get it.

But existence is pretty and life is fun. Smiles are enough to get by.

教，学，和分享

I think a lot about ethics, the brain, and the Bible (though I'm not religious). I've come up with a few neat ideas I could share.

I've taken a recent interest in cooking, so if you've got a favorite recipe, I'd love a lesson :).
