ABOUT ME
Adventurous -> don't know when to stop -> thus, experienced -> knowledgeable -> philosophical = fun loving, dreamer and a traveler.
Can honestly say I never bought a lonely plants guide or any guide for that matter.
I enjoy good company, good food, and good wine.
All my life I have traveled, never lived in a place more then 9 years (US), and even then I went from the west coast to the East. So, I guess I have a goulash of cultures, ideas, traditions in me. Adventures are a part of life and a big part of me, so I am always up for something or a story.
I attract strange events and interesting people, or at least I see it that way. I always remember that for over 6 billion people, everyone one of them has a beautiful and interesting thing about them.
Experiences is what makes people humans - not there ethnicity, religion, colour, etc. People are people - all share faults, talents, and emotions. Of course some are good and some are bad. But its mostly derived out of experiences. Life is 20% of what happens to us, and the other 80% trying to figure it out.
I do not believe in borders. Never have. I view patriotism with a weary eye; and technology with a sad eye; I do see the irony of writing that on a website using a pc that is connected to a satellite ISP. But, I always ask is what we define as progress is really progress? As in we have more, but are we happier? Do we have more knowledge, or are we just seeking instant gratification.
PHILOSOPHY
Remember, worms like the body to be a bit marinated, battered and bruised - with an extra helping of jus de bonne vie (that is good life gravy to my non-gastronomical compadres). So when you make the final dive, make sure that it is remembered.... In other words - capre diem.
It's not the one with the most toys that wins, but the one with the biggest smile does.
it can get worse.
From others:
"It is only when people perceive as as crazy then you can do what you want and it is excusable" - A quote the daughter of the Czech ambassador told me in Maroc - it comes with a story.
See with your eyes not your mind - Gorillaz
To each his own.
One who thinks and reflects develops his foresight and Vision. - ’Ali ibn Abi Talib (AS)
All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this. - Miyamoto Musashi

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I go to events, eat, drink, and help anyway I can. Unfortunately, I travel often (unfortunately because it's work related not personal) thus I never stay long enough to be able to host people.

I have hosted people and been hosted by people before I knew about CS.

Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you how to formulate a business plan, create a project schedule, package it nicely, submit it to the VC, and make millions... And that is it, live a life of travel and fun.... Naaahhhh, not really....
But I know (and lived) a lot about history, politics, geography, travel, travel, cultures, religion, science, math and stuff (like stuff, you know). Also wakeboarding.
But, in all honesty I would rather exchange stories, ideas, walk, talk and be merry....
