PHILOSOPHY

Learn from life and teach what is leaned.

Every passing moment is another opportunity.

Say more talk less.

To fear death is to fear life itself.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Well I don't have a couch for hire right now and I'm on lock down with school and work so I'm kind of on hiatus for the time being... which is very sad indeed.
