About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Intentionally Engage the World One Individual at a Time

ABOUT ME

Kind and observant, extroverted but also a quick listener, I prefer the Win-Win situation where everyone achieves their goals

PHILOSOPHY

I like theatre.

Seems like I have forgotten to include that facet of me on here. The temporal and personal, the emotive soul displayed physically in theatre intrigues me.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Trying to make my second quarter of a century even better than my first (^.^)/

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I joined while living in Korea - great times traveling the peninsula and connecting with other CSers

Interests

Hearing others' point of view provides opportunity to learn, so I enjoy living alongside others, providing another perspective for them and receiving first-hand what life is like in another's shoes.

Besides travel and the numerous tasks that I enjoy completing and doing, I like languages, science, and good food.

  • books
  • dancing
  • dining
  • traveling
  • music
  • hunting
  • olympics
  • languages
  • science
  • mountains

Music, Movies, and Books

Yes :D

Currently making my way through Spanish films, a massive Big Mac book called The Language Instinct, and an Agatha Christie. Coco Rosie-Lemonade

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watching the sun in Asia is somehow more natural than in the USA. The emphasis of harmony in the East made the sunset more personal for me.

Along these lines, shooting firecrackers from slingshots in the tribal hills of northern Thailand for New Year's 2009 was epic! The sheer childlike fun was only better because of its contrast with the traditional music and dancing around the New Year pine tree in the village center. Unbelievable.

The Caribbean spirit and its mixing of cultures and languages is also interesting to me, mind-boggling, and the main reason the next month I have free. I am returning to the DR.

Brasil, my American Thailand. One day I will write a book. For now, my trip to the Olympics in 2016 keeps me happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Anyone who can talk, over food especially! OR find a connection point in life always give insight for me, like working on a project with someone, or hearing another person's passions.
