About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Making As Many Friends All Around The WORLD By HOSTING And SURFING!!!!

I wear my two negatives out of eighty something like a badge of honor especially since one of them came from a host with the filthiest house who got infatuated and obsessed to gain my attention three years after hosting and gave me a positive review then hoping I'll be her ticket to USA and another negative I got from a surfer I never meet because I cancelled on her last minute without even telling her to teach her a lesson for telling me that she was looking forward to come to my place with illegal substance. She should have read my house rules.

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy go very luck guy who strongly believe that happiness is the key to life... Lots of laugh, Fun, spontaneous, yet responsible while pursuing that happiness, is a quick description of myself. I live a great life, I kiss the ground I walk on and I count my blessings.

For me being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect, it means I've decided to look beyond the imperfections and live my life to the fullest...

PHILOSOPHY

"Heal the past, live the present, dream the future" Not to mention - Live your life to the fullest have as much fun as possible soo that you won't have any regrets one day when sitting in that rocking chair.
