CURRENT MISSION

Quit my job. Tying up lose ends. Getting ready to fly to Nepal and start my next adventure.
ABOUT ME

Would like to cycle tour for as long as I can. Once I am on the road, will try to setup a youtube channel. Not sure what kind of content yet. From what I've seen so far. The normal bike touring channels does not generate much subscribers nor views. Since this is one of the ways I will be supporting myself. I have to come up with something that people actually want to watch. Hopefully, through photography and content creations will keep me on the road for the foreseeable future. I've been back in Canada since Aug of 2016. Been living in self impose isolation because I figured that was the most efficient way to save money. That leads to mild depression, which leads to isolate myself even more. Vicious cycle!!! I hope that will all change soon. Can't wait to experience new culture, different languages, amazing food, beautiful landscape amazing people, etc...........

PHILOSOPHY

Do more of the things that makes you happy and less of the things make makes you unhappy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

It's a great way to meet people. Many tourist only scratch the surface when they travel. But through CouchSurfing, you will interact with locals or expats that has intimate knowledge of the areas. It is a much more rewarding experience than staying in hotel, hostels, etc...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great way to meet awesome people around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like watching Nature Documentary, anything from BBC is always on top of that list. I especially like their Planet Earth Series. I listen to every genre of music. I don't particularly like the very latest music. I read only non-fiction books. Real life to me is always more interesting than fiction.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Riding up Mount Everest Basecamp in Tibet on my bike. I have to say this was the most beautiful ride I had ever done in my life. Came across 4 lions by the side of the road on a road in Tanzania. Seeing the mountain gorillas in Uganda. Almost got crush by elephant in Zambia. Seeing road killed African Wild Dogs and hyenas by the side of the road from Botswana to Zambia. Seeing wild orangutans in the jungle of Indonesia, etc.......

Teach, Learn, Share

I have done 5 bike tours totaling about 7.5 years through (Asia) (South, Central and North America) and (Africa). Currently, thinking of flying to Nepal, then make my way from there to Europe and then down West Africa to South Africa.
