ABOUT ME

I'm Parker, an aquarius queer, and I'm one crafty, adventurous, young goon...which is why I decided to give this couch surfing thing a go. My greatest passions are probably climbing and making art. I try to find the beauty in just about everything I do and everyone I meet. I love having deep, intimate conversations. I love both to challenge others and be challenged by others. I am on a spiritual journey and am discovering more about myself each and every waking day.
Maybe one day we will cross paths and teach each other a thing or two that we will take with us the rest of this life time.

PHILOSOPHY

To live through and past our sufferings. To understand that to suffer is a part of life, and that we are all suffering together and we are all here for one another as much as we allow each other to be. To find beauty in everything and everyone. To be appreciative. To remain curious. To challenge and be willing to be challenged. To share your love (including with yourself). At it's core, Love conquers all.
I have a thirst for adventure, which has lead me here.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I think the more we are willing to share / teach / learn from one-another, the more we can grow and the richer our love and communities will be. At the moment I cannot lend a place for travelers to sleep because the owners of the home I'm currently living in wont allow it, but when I finally get out of here and have a place of my own, I cannot wait to share my home with others without cost. This site is amazing, as it shows how many people out there have such nurturing loving spirits, so much that we allow others shelter for free. Seriously, I can't get how cool and amazing you all are for that. This site gives me hope in humanity.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I've only couchsurfed for two nights in Vancouver BC, Canada and had an amazing time with a super kind, welcoming host. I stayed on his boat on Granville Island, and he gave me and my partner-at-the-time a tour of the beautiful city and suggested less touristy places to explore. so,

教，学，和分享

We sometimes have to stoop to our lowest lows to get to our highest highs.
We sometimes have to lose things in order to appreciate things.
We only have control over ourselves.
We can never be at peace if we never live our truths, and anxieties and depressions can never be overcome unless we confront our realities and confess our truths, as that is where peace and happiness lies.
Sometimes walking away from people is the best way to give them our love.
Love is love is love is the answer to all.
