About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Finish my current mission.

ABOUT ME

I will go and do things even if I'm tired from doing the things I did yesterday. I don't like to stay at home watching TV and don't like to stay in the country I'm from, I like to experience life. But, I don't really like the whole tourist attraction sight seeing thing. I'd rather just hang out with some people from wherever I am or just go enjoy the land scape or city scape of where I am, rather than go see some temples or a special tree. Crazy interested in Languages, can only speak one fluently but I will be fluent in Chinese next, then on to another language. I think traveling alone sucks sometimes, meeting couch surfers is cool but it's better to travel with a good friend in my opinion. I like being a foreiger in a different country, and you can call me è

PHILOSOPHY

Work to live, don't live to work.
Besides that quote I stole from someone else I would just say my philosophy is to have goals, keep your dream and mind and don't settle for anything else, that's how I do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hmmm, I guess I'm pretty lazy when it comes to participating. I've been to some BBQ's, offered my couch and met some people in other cities. Never hosted or surfed though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Just met some cool people, nothing too crazy or super interesting to say here yo...

Interests

Crazy adventure is first, but hardest to make happen.
Language is number one everyday activity.
Food or beer is a close tie for second
Tell me a good story, true or not, and I'll listen
Now is sports I guess? But I gotta take a run everyday.
Movies or course
That leaves books and what else???

Music, Movies, and Books

This section is stupid... I like ever kind of music (probably like most people), just depends on my mood. Any music can change my mood and inspire me, it all just depends on how I listen to it. I think most peops probably can pick just one genre.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just living abroad and not falling into what I was "supposed" to do has been awesome. If I had to give an example to answer the question though... The funnest thing I've done was is Krabi, Thailand. Took a boat out to this "island" and climbed as high as I could up the side of it then jumped into the sea all day, really awesome, beautiful place.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a big "quoter" guy, and don't know many. But there is one I always remember and it from Confucius. I forget how it goes but it was like "If 5 people walk by me, 3 or them could teach me something I didn't know." To me that just means don't be narrow minded and try to appreciate people, none of us can know everything. Like a homeless dude might know the best place to take a shit, which I could have used many times.... Most people usually do have a little something they could teach you.
