ABOUT ME

I am a bit of a wanderer, I love the feeling of leaving and not knowing what is going to happen. I definitely live in the present not worrying about the future, no regrets. I am a minimalist, most of what I own fits into my backpack. I am interested in people, and hopefully we will be able to get to know each other some day. I always have an open mind. I always try and choose the more exciting option. I know who I want to be, right now just taking steps to get there. In everything I do, I am always trying to learn something new.

PHILOSOPHY

“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness.” – Mark Twain

"I wish him the best, I really do. I just think he and Microsoft are a bit narrow. He'd be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger." - Steve Jobs

"One thing only I know, and that is that i know nothing" - Socrates

God himself does not propose to judge man until the end of his days. Then why should you and I?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Surfed and went to group meetups in Europe. I lived in Auckland, New Zealand for 5 months and hosted/surfed/group meet ups as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When I first started couch surfing someone told me you don't really know what it means to surf until you have hosted. It is true. I have had some incredible times surfing as well has hosting. As well as a few not so good times, but those are only outweighed by the great experiences.
