CURRENT MISSION

100 countries is the current goal: currently at 96 - 4 more to go.......

I think the best way to fight prejudice and ignorance is to know and understand other people and their cultures. That's why I use couchsurfing. To meet locals and cultivate understanding. I always post my trips so please reach out if you are interested in meeting up for cultural exchange.

I do like to do the touristic stuff sometimes but I prefer to try to explore like a local.

I hope we cross paths at some point. Looking forward to meeting you :)

Teach, Learn, Share

"Is this all there is? Then let's go dancing. Let's break out the booze and have a ball"

"And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."

"I'm not crazy.... my reality is just different from yours"
