CURRENT mission

I choose to live a life of financial and spiritual abundance that my heart; soul; and sense of being creates and recreates because I choose to live a life of financial and spiritual abundance that my heart; soul; and sense of being creates and recreates.

ABOUT ME

There is only one of me in this world and I am not going to pretend to be anyone else. Tag along for the ride and we'll see what we get ourselves into. I do love to learn and grow as a person.

Special people live special lives. I like to be close to nature and enjoying old cities and towns that have character and history.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy: live life fully: play, get involved, experiment and laugh; treat others well, keep learning: read something new; learn something new; do something new; finally provide a helping hand and be dependable/ honest.

quote "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways into the grave in a cloud of smoke throughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Oh ya!!! What a ride!!!!" Hunter S Thompson.

Life has no real meaning... however, that doesn't mean that we should live a meaningless life. Find your core and follow your heart: do something worth remembering.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

To simply be present

I have knowledge about Korea culture, Korean life, and Korean language. I know about Kelowna and the area.
I am quite familiar with Cork City especially coffee shops and other local shops.

I could also help you create some travel plans or give you that push you may need to take the plunge to travel or do that thing you want to do.

I would like to learn to make new foods: soups, main dishes, and baked.

What I Can Share with Hosts

What can I share: a lot.

I like to cook/ bake. I have many stories to share and listen to. I clean and polish boots (read Teo's review).

I could inspire you to travel and take the plunge into your next adventure.
