CURRENT MISSION

To explore, appreciate and embrace the beauty the world offers while expanding on knowledge and wisdom from others creating a healthy mind, body and spirit.

ABOUT ME

I am generally a humble man. I am very easy going. I respect all people. I can become very hyper and silly when around friends, family, good people with good energy. I hardly ever raise my voice when upset, but silenced. I certainly put others before myself to a degree. I get natural highs from getting a laugh or smile out of people, even those I do not know and even in perhaps the worst situations. I strongly believe love conquers all other emotions on every level.

PHILOSOPHY

We all are on a constant path of self education, enlightenment and positive growth. Observe the good and bad in the world and reflect inward. Wisdom, knowledge and connections help guide us. Be yourself, enjoy yourself and enjoy all the beautiful things life has to offer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Over the past few years my mutual CS friends hosted many people from all walks of life. I have been hosting more and more recently. All I can do really is try to host as much as I can. It has been a while since my last travel and when I do venture abroad, I hope to find my way using CS. I also recommend to others that are not aware of the CS Project to consider. For those that I do meet or host through CS, I extend a warm welcome and try to make their visit a pleasant and memorable one.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far the experiences has been great. It certainly is by far the best way to make new connections, friends and lifetime memories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most amazing thing personally, is staring up at the stars at 8pm on top of a boat on a very muggy evening in Philippines (while traveling from the city of Tacloban to Eastern Samar) when out of nowhere and unexpectedly what feels like hundreds of fireflies pass overhead creating an illusion that the stars were moving and standing still.

Teach, Learn, Share

Listen to and live by the words of the dead, not live by and listen to the words of the living that are dead.
