About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet Someone from Every Country in the World!!

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy may sound a tad bit generic, but I believe life really isn't that hard ... what can make ones life difficult is themselves. Those sayings you've heard all your life like "Do unto others as you would unto yourself", "Honest is the best policy", "You can be anything you wanna be", "The Shy is the limit", well unlike most I took those to heart. I believe in honor, respect for all people, I never feel the need to tell lies or white lies because I have nothing to hide and admit my shortcomings. The truth is important to me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well, currently I am staying Hong Kong and have just joined CoachSurfing ... I have met several couch surfers and have been inspired by the CS community ... and have taken part a couple Hong Kong events ... as an exchange student I meet many that this is there first time out of the country and unaware of CS so I use every opportunity to tell others to the CS world!!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Currently, I am looking to plan my first CS experience.

Interests

My interested are vasts, just about anything can capture my attention, even water bowling gets me thinking about thermo dynamics ... I ask my self every day the same question "Why". Why does this do this, why does this work, why do people behave the way they do? I'm in a lifelong journey to understand our world and the people in it. I'm studying to be an Engineer so I love to take things apart(not all the time put them back together) and use my knowledge and creativity to bring my dreams to life. Robots, Cars, Electronics, Art, Flowers, Travel, HISTORY, Philosophy, Math, Science, Culture. ANYTHING REALLY !!! Everything and everyone deserves a chance a sec of your attention you might find something you might have not expected.
