About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am going to travel and live on every inhabited continent in the World. So far I'm 3/6.

ABOUT ME

I am an outgoing and relaxed person. I enjoy conversations on just about any topic including culture, psychology, politics, philosophy and education.

I am a clean and conscientious person. I joined CS to meet people and share experiences not to use them for free accommodation or to steal their food. I feel like I have been very lucky in life and would like to give back in any way I can.

I am always open to new ideas and I believe that I owe it to myself to broaden my perspective on life as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

All my regrets are for the things I didn't do. Not the times I tried to do something and failed.

Everything in moderation, including moderation.

Try to get out of your comfort zone and say yes to new experiences!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am traveling but once I settle down into an apartment I would love to meet travelers for drinks and offer my couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed in several different countries on my travels and I have tried to meet local and traveling couch surfers in almost every place I've gone. I also like to join meetings in other countries.

I have had nothing but great experiences each time I contact a local CSer. They have helped me to broaden my perspective and learn abut their culture. It truly is a completely different experience when you travel with CS. Now I can't imagine traveling any other way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've had so many great experiences in life I wouldn't know where to start. Suffice it to say that I feel thankful for all the opportunities I've been given, the fantastic people I've met and the experiences that I've accumulated while living and traveling.

Teach, Learn, Share

If there is anything that a person thinks they can learn from me than I am more than willing to try and teach it. Even when I teach something I feel that I am learning as well.
