Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
My current mission in life is to make up for lost time to be all i can be
ABOUT ME
I’m just a simple man from a very large poor family who was given a chance when I was 16 to be all I can be. I took that chance and never looked back I’m now retired. I’m giving back to others the knowledge and skills that were given to me currently developing community programs in several Southeast Asian countries with sole financial funding. “One can only truly be happy when they want for nothing and give them self to everyone"
PHILOSOPHY
I believe if you wake up in the morning and you’re still breathing it’s a good day. If someone is picking on me its ok, for as long as they are doing it to me that means they are leaving someone else alone.
We are born we live and we die some people believe in the after world. Or that you come back as someone else or something else depending on if you were good or bad. I believe its best just to live life to the fullest we don’t get long to live on this planet make the most of it.
“Remember if there is a heaven when you die and your standing at the gate you can’t take a lawyer to defend you. So if you can leave this life and genuinely say I did ok I did more good than bad I think you’ll be ok"
"As for the after life returning as other person or animal well just make sure you always think before you act you don’t want to come back as cockroach do you.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I’m very new to this. However I have traveled to many countries and have been taken in by strangers and give a bed and a shower. I like to believe that we can not change the world alone but if we can encourage others to try then we can make a difference.
Interests
I am interested mostly in Scuba, snorkeling, Sailing, Kayaking, Karaoke and pool.
Other than that I’m pretty much interested in learning anything new as long as it’s not dull.

Music, Movies, and Books
I listen to all types of music except thrash. I prefer to listen to love ballads mmm that’s cheesy
Generally i read self help or doit yourself books not into novels like i said before im not going to live for ever but as long as im alive i would rather live my own story than read one.
Movies: Dont watch them not a fan of black and white im still waiting for them to bring out colour (what they have oh WOW)
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Seriously I have seen some sad and horrible things in my life from natural disaster to meaningless death and destruction, experienced war first hand, to delivering babies in the desert. To holding hands with 90+ elderly women picking sunflowers I don’t have a favourite or a worst. Now is my time to experience something truly amazing I see this new adventure with Couchsurfing to be my something amazing
Teach, Learn, Share
yeap I’m all for learning. Its funny how in western society teachers don’t get paid enough or shown the respect they deserve as for I believe that all teachers should get more respect money etc lets face it without teachers there are no doctors, lawyers, accountants, mechanics, builders, bankers, real-estate sales people (or any occupation for that matter) mmmm almost anything really I mean to do anything on this earth you have to be taught first. Who taught you a teacher yeah I’m all for sharing "as my father would say I’m a jack of all trades and a master of none"
