About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the World; When in Rome, Do as the Romans do ;)
Experiencing Cultures and Personalities.

ABOUT ME

If I had to use one word to define myself it'd be 'curious'. I think that curiosity has propelled me to become who I am. It is out of curiosity that I have met lots of interesting people who have, in some way or other, left a trace on my life.

I think that my mission in the world is to share some of my time with others. I have always been fascinated by people and places and It enables me to meet people with different backgrounds and culture all year round, people I wouldn't have met if it hadn't been through this community.

I am really easy-going and friendly, and I want you to feel at ease. I believe I am an open-minded guy, so I expect the same from the people who come and stay at my place or I stay at there place ;)
Party animal and full of adventure. Love to Roam around the world.Meeting new people and friends on the journeys.

PHILOSOPHY

"Live and learn" is my motto. I love questions, inquisitive people, exploring, talking.

"It depends on the eye of the beholder". I strongly believe that we are all different. It's good to accept differences, respect them and enjoy them.

"Honesty is the best policy". Being direct and honest is always beneficial. It's not easy at times, but I think that if we embark upon a project like this one, where trusting people is taken for granted, sincerity is vital. This does not mean, though, that I am rude, inconsiderate or thick-skinned. On the contrary, people who care about you will always be frank.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I read profiles, I plan, I travel,
I experience, and I discover.
I make friends, I like food to try
and sometimes try new things for the first time in my life.
I also learn from others, sometimes I copy their good habits. I observe and I discuss, so as the time passes by, I want to be able to recall the most pleasurable moments of my life.

It partially explains why I am so addicted to photography ;)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met really interesting people through CouchSurfing, few of them are now my good friends. Everyone was special in their own way.
I have learnt about life and the cultures in the Soviet Union, Ukraine, Panama, Germany, Switzerland, Thailand and United States though meeting people.
Few experiences left mark on your life and CS experience in Thailand, UAE and Malaysia and their weekly meetings was one of those experiences - Obviously in a Good Way ;)
