Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I just love to travel and see, learn and take photographs of new places, people and ideas. Having a few beers along the way and exchanging stories with local people or travellers is also a nice little bonus.
ABOUT ME
I'm very easy going. Hell, look at my face floating on the Dead Sea - it says it all!
PHILOSOPHY
Find your inner purpose and then your outer purpose will follow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been in and out of the country for sometime so am unable to host regularly. As well, i have 5 roommates, one of which is kinda hard to deal with so it isn't always the most ideal situation. But if i'm around, shoot me an email and let's try it!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I tried many times in Colombia but was always missing the people or it was there holiday (or they were just out of their mind after carnival!!)
I have stayed in Miami, USA, via couchsurfing while visiting my Mom in the hospital. It was a great experience and the host was super fantastic.
As well, I stayed with couchsurfing hosts in Turkey!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Bali and the Middle East are probably the 2 favorite places i've been to. Though living in Spain for a year was special indeed. And now that i spent a month in Turkey, it just bumped up to the top of my list as far as places i LOVE and will return to!
Something amazing i recently saw was a seal surfing a wave that i as well was riding. One of those moments that makes you feel like you are part of something special on this planet.
Teach, Learn, Share
Impermanence! We have to remember that things are always changing. Thus, we must live in the present, in the now, be aware of our awareness. When this happens, we will never get too high or too low, we will just Be - - and with that is an permanent happiness as opposed to short term happiness or sadness. That is true living....being bliss.
