From Brahma to Buddha, Fall 2007

Hello everyone! My name is Sam, and I’m from Worcester, MA. I just finished up my second year at Brown University, where I am concentrating in Education Studies. Next year, I am taking some time off from school so that I can experience the world first-hand, rather than study it in a classroom. I have never been off the continent, and am really excited to immerse myself in a culture totally different from the western world.

Whenever possible, I will choose to do an activity instead of watch it. My hobbies include sports, cards, board games, impromptu hippie music jam fests (I am the mouthharpist), trying to bboy/breakdance, adventuring, reading, and learning. I like hearing people tell stories. I love having conversations that force me to think. When trying something new, I know that embarrassing myself in the process is at least half of the fun. Can’t wait to meet you all!
