About Me

CURRENT MISSION

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

ABOUT ME

Mountains are not stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion." €Anatoli Boukreev

If you have a dream to make a success of your life,then go for it,make your dream come true.No one said life would be easy,but they said it's worth trying

I'm better at selling than I am at speling!

i'm just your average smart, funny, good looking and modest type of guy who likes long walks on the beach, dolphins and puppies

PHILOSOPHY

My main philosophy is very simple:
- Love all people and things around...
- Never Fear (Never be angry about anything, never think bad about something)
- Never expect anything...
- Be always thoughtful...
- If you want to change the world, change yourself
- Do it or not
- Nothing is impossible
- Why not
- The one you see
- The one other sees
- The real one, nearly nobody wants to see

Not all who wander get lost. Some discover themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

CouchSurfing International, we envision a world where everyone can explore and create meaningful connections with the people and places they encounter.

The appreciation of diversity spreads tolerance and creates a global community.I like meeting and sharing with people and the cs peeps are the best, i travel allot but when i have a couch it must be surfed!Keep it real and dont be a free loder ....
