CURRENT MISSION

Experience different cultures, welcome others to my culture

ABOUT ME

Well, introducing yourself is hard, mainly because you are going to be subjective, judging yourself rather kindly. Yet, let me see if I can be as truthful as possible.For starters, I am like any other person who likes and gets along well with those who are cosmopolitan, open-minded and willing to share knowledge and experiences.I have travelled to a few places in the world and I have realised that people are basically good.I believe in being good to fellow human-beings and helpful as far as possible.
All of my experiences as a journalist have told me that people are a great education, aside from college.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live. Be good to the good. Ignore the rest.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I look forward to enriching my experiences and also sharing my culture with other like-minded people. I want to use the Net to convert virtual friendships into real ones.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted more people than I have been hosted. I have met many people on here. I have enjoyed the experience and continue to do so.....

Interests

I like meeting different kinds of people from different parts of the world. I enjoy music, dance, travelling, nature, wildlife, and discussing the fundamental truths of life as seen from various perspectives. Laughs are important!

Music, Movies, and Books

My liking of movies range from Spielberg to James Bond, from Roman Polanski to Bernardo Bertolucci, and from Martin Scorsese to James Cameron.As for music I like a range that is good to listen and good to dance to. So, it could be from Bethoven to Britney.Books encompass a wide variety of self-development to Richard Dawkins reading.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

On a late night London trip, the bus driver stopped, got off the bus and onto the pavement, just to point out the direction to my hotel.

Another time, another place: I missed a flight because I was shopping for chocolates at the airport stalls!

Teach, Learn, Share

My professional strength lies in the mass media--print, electronic and the web. I have worked with various news organizations at different levels of seniority.
So, I would be happy to share what I know with others, and learn more from those who know more.
