About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My profile is pretty minimalist right now so my mission is to add to it during my travels.

ABOUT ME

I love to read, and I love to drink. I love to be with close friends while drinking.

PHILOSOPHY

Have you ever seen that movie called "What the bleep do we know?"? In it people were asked to look at something like a red ball, and scientists looked at the different areas of the brain that lit up when they saw it. Then what the scientists did was remove the ball and ask the person to think about it instead. As they were thinking about the ball the scientists noticed that the very same areas of the brain lit up even though there was no actual ball in sight.

I think the same thing can be applicable to anything we want. If we think happy, we are happy. If we think sad we are sad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

So far I've donated to couchsurfing.org and I've created my profile. I always meant to go to a couch surfing meeting in Edmonton but I always ended up missing it and then forgetting about it and then remembering it again only to find out that I've missed it again. It's agonizing. They need to be closer together instead of 1 month apart.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have yet to surf a couch anywhere. I hope to start in Europe by using this site.
