CURRENT MISSION

Be intentional. Differentiate want and need. Unlearn unessentials.

'Love is the law, Love under will'

ABOUT ME

I love genuine smiles, trees, positivity, helping, freeganism, movies, sharing, zen, listening, comedy, inner-outer exploration, animals, contemplating, synchronicities, music, learning.

Let's celebrate this chance to be alive and breathing!

PHILOSOPHY

Stop teaching separation and judgment and teach love and unity. Realize that you and every being in this world are connected. Remember love.

"Life does not cease to be funny when people die any more than it ceases to be serious when people laugh" — George Bernard Shaw

"You can only lose what you cling to" —The Buddha

"A man’s maturity — consists in having found again the seriousness one had as a child, at play" — Nietzsche

"Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible." ~Dalai Lama

"The fundamental delusion of humanity is to suppose that I am here and you are out there" — Yasutani Roshi.

Don't take seriously something that can't make you laugh. ~Raro

*Embrace the random*

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to keep the hospitality ball going, one of the reasons I'm here is because I'd like to somehow give back to people everything that's on my power just the way it is/was unconditionally given to me during my travels.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to fish but NOT in the literal sense =)

I can share my experiences about voluntarily living without money.

I want to learn French, how to juggle and play the guitar.

I am interested to learn about whatever it is you enjoy filling your time with.

Countless smiles and tons of stories.
