CURRENT MISSION

To travel and be traveled upon

PHILOSOPHY

Hmm... it´s not often you get asked this outright, it´s a bit hard to express without resorting to cliches or cheesy lines...

I´m a pretty fortunate person, and during the ups and downs, I think it´s important to keep perspective. Being so fortunate comes with the obligation to do what you can to help those in the world who get structurally trampled upon, and to give them a voice in a world that doesn´t want to hear it.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed in Morocco and South Africa, and have had met lots of people who have surfed on our friends' couches-- they made quite an impression and encouraged me to do it myself!
