CURRENT MISSION

Create beauty, spread joy, share love

ABOUT ME

I was born at a very early age in Winnipeg, Canada.

25 years later I'm traveling the world with my girlfriend, learning languages, exploring cultures, and discovering what makes the human animal tick.

I have a website where I write about the psychology of happiness - as seen through the lens of my travel/life adventures: http://ajwalton.com.

PHILOSOPHY

"Seek first to understand, then to be understood." We have so much to learn from one another. Differences and disagreements are good, when they don't escalate to conflict. Love and understanding can bring any people together, no matter how great their differences may be on the surface.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In this chaotic, destructive universe, on a tiny blue-green ball in a little-known suburb of an average, unassuming galaxy, I've had the opportunity to exist. Nothing is quite so amazing as that...except maybe the fact I've fallen in love with someone amazing.

Also:
I've run a marathon. I can hold my breath for 4.5min. I can juggle a soccer ball over 1000 times. I write for LifeHack.org and my own site: ajwalton.com
