ABOUT ME

i am the man i would like to be.... im a traveller, a free thinker, an openminded person...

World travel is cheap and easy. In fact, with a little practice and effort, you can travel the world for free.

The idea that travel is expensive and difficult is bullshit peddled by tour companies, hotel chains and corporate media.

The tourism industry wants you to buy cruise packages and stay at all-inclusive resorts.

They want you to choose a travel experience the same way you would choose a new jacket at the mall. They want your Credit Card number.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is like a song,
So sing it loud and clear
As we move along
What's important, we keep near

Each turn we take is another chance
And opens up another door
It's up to us if we get up and dance
Or choose to sit on the floor

As we grow older
We start to see
The world is on our shoulder
And reality is telling us
We are not who we want to be

Each day becomes an effort
And we begin sleeping through our lives
There is so much pain and hurt
Everyone stabbing each other with knives

All others become a bad influence
Your life is now at stake
The key to true repentance
Is what we choose to take

You see, life is what we make it
Nothing more and nothing less
Trust is strong but once you break it
Everything becomes a mess

But what good does it do for us to cry
What good does it do to whine
Everybody lives and everybody has to die
We all go through pain and have a set amount of time

All that we can do, is look to the future with hope
That someday things will all make sense
As time goes on, we will find ways to cope
And the pain will no longer seem so intense

We'll put on a smile, sing life's song with love
Hang around for a while
And seek God's grace from up above
Do your best to make sense
Of everything you're given
If nothing works out
Hold your head up high, keep living

There will be times when pain is all we feel
The clouds are all we can see
It will seem to be too much for us to deal
But in the end, God will set us free

Open up your mind
And just live for today
Each of us, our paths will wind
As we search and find our way

Near the end of our life
As we walk through our last days
We'll back look at the things
That helped light our way

We'll see all the mistakes we made
And the people who were there
The things that may have caused our smiles to fade
And the smell of the cool, fresh air

You'll think about the people you'll never know by name
And all of the joy you felt
When someone kept you from going insane
And helped you to live with the hand you've been dealt

You'll remember the sun that always came out
After the passing of the rain
It wouldn't allow you to doubt
That the joy was worth the pain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travel frees you from the grind of daily routine. You will explore new places, meet new people, try new foods and learn things about the world – and yourself – that you never imagined were possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing is a network of hosts and travellers worldwide. Its mission is for educational and cultural exchange, not a financial transaction. People open up their places and hearts to host travellers. There is no money exchanged, only perhaps a cultural exchange. What an amazing concept!
I checked it out and immediately put up a profile and started to contact people. As it turns out, I stayed with someone every night except the first night there! It was one of the most amazing experiences I ever had, and by far more meaningful than the purpose of the trip in the first place.

Interests

There are certain activities and hobbies that give us immense pleasure and can even make us forget the tensions of everyday life. Hobbies are considered to be a real stress buster by some, while others think of them as a nice escape from the drudgery of routine life. Hobbies, in fact, add color and substance to the otherwise monotonous life. Photography - Wildlife, Nature, Portrait
