About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as possible about being human!

ABOUT ME

I am an experience hog wanting to learn as much as possible, in my limited time on earth, about the human experience. I think there is no better and effective way to learn it than to explore the earth and all of it's fancies: Culture, nature, disasters, etc.

PHILOSOPHY

I suppose my overlying philosophy is that Happiness should always be our prime motivator, and with that, everything good will follow because our nature is instinctively good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by traveling to various countries on my vacation and not only see the artificially placed backdrop for tourists, but also dive into the hidden layer of every nation that outlay the culture behind it.

I also vow to take in couch-surfers once I get my own place with enough room to be habitable by adventurists, such as myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only couchsurfed in two countries so far: France and Japan.

Both experiences were absolutely wonderful. I am, to this day, surprised on how much people are willing to give and expect nothing in return. I, of course, never expect more than just a "hello" and a safe place to stay, if they accept me into their home. I know from just that alone, I owe them big time (and I usually pay in full)!

Interests

I am currently interested in the following activities:
1) Physics
2) Swing Dancing
3) Improvisation
4) Parkour
5) Paintballing

But things that I've tried and are willing to try are the following (but not limited to...):
Kayaking, Bungy-jumping, sky-diving, snorkeling, river rafting, jet-skiing, water-skiing, scuba-diving, etc.

1) Swing Dancing
2) Basic French

4) Physics
5) Mathematics
6) Personal philosophy
You name it!

I would love to learn the following:

2) Piloting

Anything you can offer!
