CURRENT MISSION

Share positive energy and smiles with those around me:-)

ABOUT ME

I am a nature-loving adventurous individual, who is curious about practically everything and enjoys traveling, reading books, following the news, swimming, volunteering for good causes, spending time outdoors, playing sports, taking MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), meeting new people, learning about new cultures, saving the world one step at a time...

PHILOSOPHY

“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. … We need not wait to see what others do.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Though unfortunately my hosting ability is very limited as I live in a small apartment with 2 roommates...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No real couchsurfing experiences yet as I am new to the community, but my active couch-surfer friend dragged me to a local party once and it was a lot of fun to meet the awesome people there, who couchsurf and host a lot!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I dove off pretty scary cliffs in Hawaii once, if you don't jump far enough there you pretty much land on rocks... Def one of the most dangerous things I've ever done.
