To enjoy this world by learning from It, embrace every moment while I can, take risks and to keep following my dreams.

'Strangers are my best friends'

Im a simple person who appreciates the small things in life.

"The most dangerous worldview is the worldview of those who have not viewed the world"..

"To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people exist, that is all(Oscar Wilde)

"If you know how quickly people forget the dead... you will stop living to impress people.

There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday and the other is called Tomorrow. Today is the right day to Love, Believe, Do and mostly Live.” Dalai Lama

I live to travel. I love immersing myself in different cultures, countries and learning from the people throughout the world. I enjoy mixing with local people rather then seeing touristy things, travel to me is interacting with the people and learning from them, rather then seeing buildings, museums and taking photos. I am currently backpacking and hitchhiking around the world.

I also love to keep fit and active and enjoy all kinds of sport and experiencing new and exciting things.

I believe that if you want to do something you should do it now, life's too short.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe there is no right or wrong way to live your life. If we all lived life the same way it would be a very boring place indeed. I respect other peoples views on life and the way they live their's. I believe that you only live once, life too short to hold things off if you want to do something do it now.

People laugh at me because im different.. I laugh at them because they are all the same!

Every man dies. Not every man really lives.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been hosted on numerous occasions throughout my travels and these experiences have been truly unique and inspiring. I enjoy meeting local people and doing what they do. Im looking for more local experiences rather than the standard ones you find in guide books. I travel to understand the culture and the people in which live there rather than visiting tourist attractions. I want to feel like I understand the cities and the countries that im visiting. Couchsurfing continues to provide me with these experiences and so much more.
