CURRENT MISSION

“There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.” Hemingway

ABOUT ME

above all, laughter is the best medicine

PHILOSOPHY

Years from now, when you're old and gray, when it hurts to walk and you can't hold your bladder for than half an hour, the people you met and the experiences you made will make peeing in your pants completely beautiful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
