CURRENT MISSION

To live in various countries and be infected by their cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm a funny mix of extrovert and introvert, and like to satisfy both. But I'm very chatty and as comfortable talking about nothing as I am on philosophical and profound topics.

Like to inspire people and love those people that inspire purely through the manner in which they live.

PHILOSOPHY

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." (Mark Twain)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Although I'm unable at the moment I look forward to being a host in the future. For now I will perhaps surf the odd couch or meet people for drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

One surf while staying in Berlin. A great first experience! Hadn't had the time or need to do more CSing since then but i'm about to begin exploring its wealth...
