CURRENT MISSION

enjoy life, be good, do good

ABOUT ME

i try my best to be easy-going and enjoy life, but i don't always succeed. i like a serious discussion, especially with someone knowledgeable, open-minded, wise, interesting, or all of the above

i'm well into my gaming, so if you're a gamer, hit me up
i'd also like to meet people who are interested in the same type of music as me
well, to be honest..it doesn't really matter. i wanna meet new people, full stop. if you're cool, don't be shy..get in touch

i believe that the best way to make this world a better place is to not hurt others..that includes the earth itself and animals as well

i'm very opinionated, but i usually try (sometimes unsuccessfully) to keep them to myself.
opinions, i believe, should be based on logical conclusions, not passion

PHILOSOPHY

- do whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone
- the only important thing in life is to do good
- if you don't want someone to do it to you or the people close to you, don't do it to them (this includes other species as well of course)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

i've only surfed twice, it was cool. i've hosted about two or three times because my place has almost always been too small
i've always enjoyed the CS get-togethers i've been to. CS attracts some of the best, most open-minded people in the world, it seems
