CURRENT MISSION

To make the world a better place

ABOUT ME

I am a US Army veteran and pacifist that's looking to travel the globe and to do more with less. I have a permanent income that should help facilitate this. I have traveled and seen some of this planet but have way too much yet to experience. Your couch can make a difference in this being a reality. Peace, love and laughter to you and yours from your friend Buddha

PHILOSOPHY

You must be the change you wish to see in the world, Gandhi. Do unto others as you would have done unto you, unknown. My goal is to help reduce suffering for all. If you want to change the world, start by looking in the mirror.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look forward to cooking, shopping and puttering around with you to learn your customs (not clingy though, I can entertain myself). I will buy food, clean dishes, however I can help. I am a clean person with a team minded spirit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have yet to experience this phenomena... have met a few surfers (Rose from Salem, a Greek traveler, some years ago) and have enjoyed their company. I find that we always have travel in our blood and can easily get along.

Interests

Travel of course! I`ve been volunteering with earthquake victims and disadvantaged children, building homes and hospitols. Being a social butterfly, compassion, meditation, philosophy, photography, historical sites, shopping, walking, hiking and anything spontaneous!
