About Me

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous person and find meeting new people stimulating. I'm basically looking to meet people around the world and establish a greater support system/network of friends. I've had the opportunity to travel and meet some genuine individuals, with whom I maintain close friendships and have later connected in different parts of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is not a rehearsal. The globe is our playground. Although I believe in a higher power, I can't put my ignorance over an altar and call it God, as defined by any religion, books written by mankind or institution.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My hosting availability is relative to the geographical location of my work assignments. When in town, I could possibly host 1 guest for a couple of nights.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have couch surfed around the world at friends/family's couches/floors/under a large structure in Berlin & Seville due to overbooking and have had great adventures while at it... Haven't had the experience yet with the couchsurfing.org community, although I'll be hosting my first surfer from Germany in a few months.
