About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am about to visit USA for the third time, traveling from east to west coast.

ABOUT ME

So, I do not prefer to wear a disguise. My personality is almost such as you see it. But remember what one wisdom says: "Human is a secret. You may solve it for your whole life. But don't consider it as useless even if you don't resolve it totally" I try to avoid troubles but troubles always find me and then I may feel down. But I never lose sence of humor. It can be difficult for me to joke in English at the beginning but time will always come. I tend to not count on anybody but but sometimes I have to.

PHILOSOPHY
Many times I prefer to work alone because my adage says: the more people are the more conflicts emerge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started with CS in 2010 on my first trip to US. It was a pleasant experience, not to waste ton of money on hotels and to be befriended with locals.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted one young German woman for two nights.

I was a guest in New Milford , NJ, USA (Scott Holliday); then in Dumont, NJ, USA (Michael Reekie) and the most befriended couchsurfer from San Juan Cpistrano - Gia Lugo, who I visited again 8 years later.

Interests

- nature, gazing at rivers, creeks and waterfalls, rafting /kayaking, cycling, playing drums (seldom playing guitar), seeking and harvesting fruit, miscellaneous working with PC, programming, enjoying people and myself etc.
