CURRENT MISSION

My insatiable curiosity is demanding that I go where books cannot take me.

ABOUT ME

I'm very outgoing but I have shy mannerisms. My object in life is to learn at least one new thing everyday. I'm a little bit addicted to Wikipedia, especially hitting the "Random Article" link. Sometimes I try to be funny, but usually I end up laughing at my own jokes more than anyone else. Cooking is one of my favourite things to do and I always do my own dishes. When I have a bad day, I like to go grocery shopping. I like having real experiences and appreciating them as they happen. I spend a lot of my time thinking quietly.

PHILOSOPHY

"I am still learning."
Michelangelo

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

What I hope to contribute is a wake of pleased hosts who can teach me about the world, big and small. In the future, when my living conditions are solid, I hope to welcome as many guests as I can into my own home.

Interests

Photography, Rock & Roll, TED talks, cooking, traveling, languages, writing, aesthetics, natural sciences, savants, and human nature. Honestly though, I'm interested in everything and anything.
