CURRENT MISSION

Travel the World

ABOUT ME

My wife and I decided we wanted to travel the world in January 2014 and have been planning to do that ever since. We start in September 2014 and hope to live an adventurous year on the road. We know lots of people have done and are doing this but for us this is just crazy...All our family and friends are super supportive and encouraging so it has been easier to think about leaving them all behind even though we will miss them tremendously. We are leaving with a list of places to go and what we want to see but with no strict plans. We will take it as it comes and most of all hope to encounter different cultures, meet wonderful people and make lasting relationships all over the world. We would love to help in humanitarian causes in our travels and that's why we are starting with Bangladesh.

We will be sharing our adventures on our blog:

PHILOSOPHY

You haven't lived until you have taken a risk!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Interests

Ever since my Mexico visit I have an itch to go snorkeling, it was such an amazing exprience

Love hiking and canoeing/kayaking in peaceful nature

BBQ picnics with family and friends

Love my grandmother (who I am currently living with) and will miss dearly on my trip

Cats (mine is named Strider)

Sports - hockey, american football (there's no other feeling like tackling another player on the field), badminton

and of course traveling with my best friend, my wife who by the way is a very artistic person (loves to create things, arts & crafts, painting, drawing, cooking, henna designs, jewelry) She is the most amazing person I can think of traveling with. She has a sense of adventure, will push her limits all the time, is a bundle of energy and always fun to be around, laughs easily and has a beautiful and caring heart for everyone...
