CURRENT MISSION

To visit everywhere, to experience enrything and to help everyone

ABOUT ME

My name is Richard, I'm 24 years old, English and in love with travel.

My passion is in self improvement, I love anyone and anything that can teach me something new and raise my consciousness. I run a business in Tokyo now, if you want a free tour just ask, I love to talk about my passions. It's always a pleasure to meet open minded creative people with great stories to share.

My dream is to retire to the English countryside after many years of travelling adventures, and live the life of a country gentleman.

PHILOSOPHY

I think Rudyard Kipling put it best in his poem 'If...'. I'm currently working on being the man he envisions.

Nothing is black and white. Our mission is to evolve. We are all icebergs in an infinate sea of consciousness. We must always ask for evidence. Love is wise, hate is foolish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
