CURRENT MISSION

I live life like an RPG. I like talking to strangers and check every corner for secrets!

ABOUT ME

I am a student. I like to think. I love meeting new people. I like learning new skills. I like leaving my comfort zone.

You can probably find out a lot of information on my FB profile: http://www.facebook.com/DAMIENster

PHILOSOPHY

You know, I really like the philosophy of a certain anime character, Naruto (later in the series). His whole bit is to stop the cycle of hate. To forgive. I try to live like that. I forgive mistakes. I try to be open minded and understanding (but I am still very passionate about certain topics). I live very happily.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Please see my update to the left. I can MAYBE host, and it highly depends on my roommate. I am happy to meet up for drinks or other outings. If you are interested in seeing UCLA, then definitely hit me up!

I'm mostly interested in conversation and culture exchange and mutually teaching one another things (versus say...seeing common tourist sites).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Amsterdam after buying like a "foolish American."

Teach, Learn, Share

I really really think a lot . I've thought out a huge range of topics and love discussing them. I like to learn through debate, and I'm very open minded. In some circles, this is known as mental masturbation. I love it (but I do try to actually apply things).

I also have many practical skills and am particularly good with tech things.
