About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To find beauty and eternal gratitude in the simplicity of Life

ABOUT ME

3/4 Human, 1/4 Robot (Partially Cyborg), but still human enough share my Love, Happiness, and Gratitude in the purest form possible. My gift is my greatest blessing and my greatest curse. It's a unique story to share.

Naturally curious, observer, thinker, adamantly persistent (w/ goals & dreams & relationships), easygoing, perceptive, open-minded.

Elephants are my among some of my favorite animals. In my opinion, they're closest mammals to being human. They're community-oriented, yet as individual members, they can stand as powerful, endearing, and compassionate creatures. They mourn for their dead (a sign of compassion & maybe human).

PHILOSOPHY

"For what's it's worth, it's never too late, or in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you've never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again." - F. Scott Fitzgerald

"I know I'm not a smart man, but I know what Love is..." - Forrest Gump

"Fear is a friend misunderstood" - Meylin Han (my friend)

"Be like water, my friend." - Bruce Lee :]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I strive to find new events, travel, meet-ups and amazing individuals to hang out with and share stories. I seek to understand and expand my limited worldview and shift paradigms. The world is a beautiful place and all I know of it is a small speck of it. There are many wonderful things to discover everyday. It's up to us to decide and go out to find them and share those things with others.

Unfortunately, I am not able to host at this time. Nevertheless, I always make an effort to show others around so I can learn more about them and exchange stories with them. After all, stories are what makes us human. :]

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Music: All kinds of music, but more so, ones with meaningful lyrics. Chill & upbeat music.

Movies: Forrest Gump, 3 Idiots, Life is Beautiful

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Really cheesy, but seeing and holding my niece of the first time left me completely awestruck. Being an uncle rocks! :]
