About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Looking for friends...just moved to Algarve for a few weeks...

ABOUT ME

Im just sussing out couchsurfing at present....im wary of all social networking sites ....so lets see.

The idea is good though im just wary of SN sites having personal information about.

Life is only once, and it is too short to waste time with useless things, for example living strictly according to social standards. Despite so many questions I also have many certainties, one of them is make my life worthwhile. I want to learn to deal with human diversity, increase my cultural exchange ,spreading compassion and try to help others as much as possible, returning the friendship and the help i receive. With many trials, errors and successes, i want to reach the end of my life, look back and see that many things made were worth, and my existence contributed, at least a little, to improve the lives of others. Finally I want to make the difference wherever I am, impacting always for the good.

PHILOSOPHY

Do onto others as you would have done onto you....the basis of most religions. But no religion or politics please!
