CURRENT MISSION

keep on moving about and talking to strangers.

ABOUT ME

I have never owned a watch.
An empty mind is better than a full briefcase.
College drop out with no regrets.
Tourists don't know where they have been and travelers don't know where they are going.
I like to swim and play golf.
I've made my reputation by getting into trouble.
I practice Buddhist meditation but not in any religious way.

PHILOSOPHY

Never put a price tag on happiness.
A smile opens all doors.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I heard about couch surfing and thought it was a great idea. Why not? I don't lock the door to my apartment or my car so it's all good anyway.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far....I wouldn't change a thing.
