CURRENT MISSION

Exploring Portland

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people. Nudging towards simplicity, adventure, and friendship-the stuff worth living for. I wish I knew the moniker for someone who has become the change he wants to see in the world. Well, I am that. Tat Tvam Asi.

PHILOSOPHY

I try my best to enjoy life, to have fun, to be happy and to appreciate everything without forgetting to be myself. I accept change as the one and only constant, so I try to be water-like, but without getting too slippery.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel, to experience, and travel, and travel again.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The top one is going around the world with a bicycle in 2004. USA, Japan, Switzerland, France, Netherlands, USA. But lately everyone I meet has given me a reason to see life as the amazing journey it is. Because of my travels I committed to earn AA at SRJC and now finishing a Bachelors of Arts-Art and Film & Digital Media majors at UCSC. Pretty amazing feat, all from scratch.

Teach, Learn, Share

To be someone worth observing. To be a conscious witness rather than an information gatherer. The traveler shares things that can't be possessed.

What I Can Share with Hosts

All that I am.
