CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life...

ABOUT ME

I am living in my fourth country, Russia.
I have lived in Indonesia, China, and South Korea.
I am from Pennsylvania, USA. (Pittsburgh area).

PHILOSOPHY

Seek not to find who you are, but to determine who you want to be. Stop looking for a purpose as to why you are here. Create a purpose. Life is not a process of discovery but a process of creation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have had several places where I could host in the past, but I cannot host in my current home. I am still available to meet up to show people around town, etc. I live in Moscow, Russia. The site is not accepting my address, so I cannot change my address to get verified here, but I am still 'verified' at my old address... ! ?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have found couchsurfing to be a very positive addition to my life over the past 6 years as a host and a surfer. I have recommended it to many people.
