About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Serving God and serving my neighbour

ABOUT ME

Asked my best friend, " You are the craziest person I've ever met, and I love it ! "
When I was a young boy I knew it all but as I get older I seem to be not as sure.
I finally figured out that I am not a kid any more, just doing what I can to stay healthy.
I don't smoke, I'm not a heavy drinker, I just enjoy a glass of good wine when eating nice food with !
You'll find me to be direct, cool, funny and honest. I keep an open mind and love to learn new things.
I am very talkative, morning person. I am a volunteer as well as a life-long learner. Moderation is best for me. I'm curious about most things in life that I tend to get very excited/intense. Feel free to share your opinions as I'm interested in learning different viewpoints. I often struggle with new endeavors and ideas, in order that I eventually understand. I am fair, creative and resourceful.
I enjoy long talks late at night with friends and believing we are changing the world ! I am very passionate and never have settled for anything in my life. I'm very impulsive and I'm learning to use that character trait in positive ways in my life. My feet are always going and the road is for me. I see myself traveling... always through any mean I can (boat, train, car, plane, horse, feet…). I may not have much in this world, but I'm rich with travels around the world !

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live.
Add life to years, not years to life..
Take nothing for acquainted, for whatever you own in this world is short-lived, only spirituals are eternal.
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares (Heb 13:1)
I feel that everyone deserves a chance to do something great in their life and I want to be that person who helps make that happen.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It is my pleasure to meet people for cultural events. I notice that most Couchsurfers are in their 20s-30s which is a generation behind me. I will try not to sound like your dad. I wish that CS would have been around when I was younger.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few people during college and then on occasions of church regional and international meetings, but I have yet to surf myself. The hosts I met were all wonderful people eager to share their knowledges and travel experiences.

Interests

Traveling, scuba diving, flying, biking, reading, cooking, socializing and coffee.
I am interested in learning about other cultures, people's lives, hopes, and motivations.
