CURRENT MISSION

To help educate others and myself about the rest of the world that we have yet to understand

ABOUT ME

Student and rookie world traveller; studying Global and Middle Eastern studies along with International Relations and the Arabic language. I'm currently spending my time trying to find out what people on other sides of the world think about each and how any misunderstandings can be fought against.

PHILOSOPHY

Life for those with the option should be lived in service to those without the option

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently in the middle of traveling myself, so I unfortunately can't provide a couch. However, I am always willing and ready to help the community as a heavy travel-addict who would love to share and exchange experiences on the road with other members.

Interests

Music, travel, the Middle East...Thailand--everything about that wonderful and beautiful country

• traveling
• music
• emergency services
• international relations

Music, Movies, and Books

Easy to swallow indie rock, folk and music from the British; the more I travel the more I find myself hooked to music about traveling

Bookwise I'm a huge fan of history, biographies, and anything on the Middle East

My favorite film, hands down: City of God; a wonderful and intense fictional account of the development of a Rio slum

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Standing at the base of Qasr an-Nile bridge in downtown Cairo on January 28th, 2011, watching protesters fight their way through the police to Midan Tahrir; one of the most eye-opening and surreal things I've ever seen.

Countries I’ve Lived In
