About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to transform myself to be able to better serve world peace and humanity

ABOUT ME

I am married with four children, ages from 14 to 22. I am the youngest of 11 children, with five brothers and five sisters above me. The best lesson is to be born in a totally loving family with so much love. Despite the extremely poverty that my parents face when I was a child, this opportunity to better myself in life was bred from this circumstances. I am proud of my heritage, where I was from and what made me to who I am today. I found out one can live life with dignity, pride for yourself and who you stand for, when you live with courage and pure trust and love for humanity. One does not have to cheapen themselves, sell themselves short, betray their love ones to make things work. Justice still prevails in this world if you have the courage to face it right through. There are so many many nice people living in nice places in this world, all depending on how you look at it. Life! Be in it! Share it around for world peace! Deep down, we human race are all the same. We all want a lovely family to go back to, a lovely home to sleep in, peace and have enough to do whatever we want. There is no need for the greedy people in this world.

PHILOSOPHY

If the politicians have the wisdom and passion for their country, compassionate, want the job because of their deep believe in the uniqueness of mankind, the deep believe in world peace and that we all each have a mission in life to contribute to each other, this world would be a much better place!! Cut out the greedies, the egoistic, the control freaks in this world and it will be a much better place to live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently, I am more than happy to give one day of my time to show people around. Have a cup of coffee or something. In another words, to be the Melbourne or Australian 'ambassador' of love for this land! It is infectious! My current house is too crammed to put another person in. I plan to build a bigger one so I can accommodate the Buddhisatvas of the earth.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Not with CS yet. Only did twice with global freeloaders in New Zealand in Nov 2008. The experience was so good that they encouraged me to join this site as well. I am ever indebted to the many many good people in this world who have opened up their heart and share their reasons of living where they are! This has expanded my vision of this world.

Interests

Travel, travel, travel!
Meeting people, mutual learning of cultures, understanding their way of life. Life is beautiful! Be in it. I cannot do it alone. I need the varieties of people with age groups,different ways of living and ways of life, ways of belief, ways of thought, etc
To be able to create a heart to heart dialogue so we both learn from each other

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Won the historic case on work bully. Took 4 1/2 years to win over the bully that lasted 15 years.
Starting to appreciate myself, my tough and resilient mind and its unlimited potential! As the saying goes, this is true of 'if you have the will, there will be the way!'. You can certainly win back your self esteem, confidence, identity and self worth when you put your heart and soul into it!

Teach, Learn, Share

marketing, counseling (or rather share experience) on work bully, spiritual search for personal growth

Australia, China, New Zealand, United States
