About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Work as little as possible, Master Thai, Enjoy Life

ABOUT ME

When I graduated from school I knew I had to go out and experience life. I didn't want to be one of those people lying on my death bed full of regrets. So I worked for about a year saved up money and went to work on a farm in California. After that I traveled through India and Nepal until I ran out of money. Then I went to Korea to teach English. After a few years there I started to work online and now am able to live in Bangkok.  I'm always looking for new adventures and new ways of thinking.  I'm always working on something to improve my life and meeting new and interesting people helps inspire me and think about things in new ways.

PHILOSOPHY

There was once a man who was terrified of his own shadow and lived in fear of the sound of his own footsteps. Walking along one day he entered a panic and tried to flee at top speed. But as fast as he ran, his shadow and footsteps kept up with him and made him run all the faster, until he finally collapsed of exhaustion and died.
If he had only sat down in the shade of a tree, he would no longer have have been able to see his shadow or hear his own footsteps.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None, but I've taken plenty of friends in on my couch..... time to branch out.

Interests

I really love being out in nature. Hiking, biking or just sitting listening to a stream. There is nothing I enjoy more than listening to music, music has always been a part of my life and I enjoy listening to new music and sharing my favorite albums at the moment. I'm always interested in trying new food. I love Indian food, but then again I love a lot of food. Did I mention ice cream. There is nothing I like more than Ben & Jerry's ice cream. It is my goal to bring Ben & Jerry's ice cream to every person in the world!
