CURRENT MISSION

To minimize and simplify.

ABOUT ME

I am a teetotaler - I've never tried alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs in my entire life. Nor do I intend to. I'm a pretty laid-back guy. I like to keep things simple and I find happiness in the small things.

PHILOSOPHY

Again, I live for the small stuff. I am a minimalist. I do not enjoy new technology for the most part. I don't wear expensive clothes. My job does not define me as a person. I feel that the most important things which I can accomplish in this life are: never stop learning, never stop teaching, seeing the world, and meeting as many people as I can in the process.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, surfing, talking a lot, etc. I hope that by opening my home to others, I have good luck finding people to open their homes to me. I am very excited about this project and am eager to participate.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I think that my favorite thing so far in CSing, is on the occasions where I have hosted someone and later surfed on their couch. It's always great to have an exchange, but to flip it later and see where they came from sort of completes the picture for me. I really enjoy that.
