About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world at a cheap rate or even possibly for free

ABOUT ME

I am open minded and easy to get along with. I love to share travel stories, experiences and tips and would like to make more travel buddies :)

What I love most about visiting new places is the experience of a new culture and the uniqueness of the country and/or city.

As my girlfriend says "If your dreams doesn't scare you, they are not big enough!" Go for your dreams even if it may seem like there are lots of obstacles in the way. Having a vision, do the hard work with determination and dedication then you will be able to grasp your dreams.

I am an aircraft maintenance engineer who is working abroad and love to travel. Recently I've taken an interest in photo blogging since I love to take pictures as a hobby on my travels.

I love to listen to music because I feel the good vibrations as food for my soul.

PHILOSOPHY

Endless seeking of knowledge. They say knowledge is power but I say the use of said knowledge is power. In my mind it is not what you know but how you make use of what you know that is important. That is why I like to keep learning, anything. You can never learn too much and the sources to learn from can be from everything in your life; experiences, people, pets, nature, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

none. First timer :D

Interests

I would like to do language exchange in Spanish and Swahili :)

I recently took up photo-blogging which I find to be quite fun. I still snowboard and I used to ride motorcycles. I love to travel and listening to music while doing so.

I want to get my advanced divers certificate as well as specialize in underwater photography. As you can see I really dig photography :D

I love the outdoors so any chance that I get to be outdoors I will take it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that I've done was take a week long motorcycle trip from Vancouver, BC to Los Angeles, CA while camping along the way. I got to see the beauty of the mountains in Washington state, the coast of Oregon state, and the great Redwood forest of Northern California.

It's hard to name just one because another just as amazing experience was and still is my time at work in Sudan. This was an eye opening experience as I realized how many things that we take for granted everyday.

Teach, Learn, Share

I don't have one specific specialty but more-so a jack of all trades. I have quite a bit of travelling experience that I can possibly share tips and tricks. Ideas on how to create income passively so I can travel more. I can even chat about spirituality and vegetarianism.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Netherlands, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United Kingdom, United States
