CURRENT MISSION

The world has got a lot to offer. I never cease to learn something new about myself while I travel and have a better understanding of the world and my place in it.

ABOUT ME

I'm on a layover in a Japan airline, I'm too tired to answer this.

PHILOSOPHY

Live your life like a good story. Don't waste your time chasing stuff, do something to make the world better, always keep learning, take some big chances, it's ok if you "fail", the point is the journey, so enjoy it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just found out about this website. I think it is an awesome idea. There is a great deal we can all gain from hosting and being hosted in natives homes opposed to staying in hotels and other venues. What traveling I have done has always been greatly improved by a chance to actually interact with locals and see how they live.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only had a few so far, but they have all been great experiences. My time has always been more enriching with a local guide to the places I travel to.

Interests

Outdoors and outdoor related things hiking, biking..... . I also love to try out new foods, and trying to learn how to cook them. I also enjoy architecture, photography, and art (although I don't know a lot about it I always go to museums and look). I enjoy reading a lot on very different subjects, and can always kill half a day in a bookstore. I always wanted to learn how to play an instrument, but have yet to accomplish that goal. I am interested in a lot of things and can usually find some common interest with just about anyone.
