About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see all there is to see, the sunrise in Tibet, the sunset on the Medder

ABOUT ME

I'm a nice, friendly guy that loves to meet new people and see how they live. I like to try new things, at least once, depending on the result.
I recently had a near death experiace, so now I'm traveling the world I live in, meeting the people I live with. I like to have fun, and laugh all the small things off, and I've realised that its all small things, . I speak english and half-french. But im learning all the time. I can juggle, I can unicycle, I havent QUITE mastered juggling on a unicycle, but.... its coming. I write music, poems, no ballads have asked to be written yet, but there is still time.

PHILOSOPHY

I belive that we are what we make of ourselves.
We were created, given gifts of life, so lets use the time we have wisely. Have fun. Care. Love. Think outside the box.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've just joined this organization, but up till now, it involved meeting people at the hostels, then being invited into their houses, and I hope to continue with this.

Interests

I'm interested in society, and why we humans are like we are.
I like to think, to read, to laugh, to sing, to party (of course), to LIVE!
I longboard, like a skateboard, but more like a surf board with wheels. i play the guitar, and piano.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

the carnivale in Rio De Janeiro was amazing. it was great, i wish i had words that could describe the jubalance of the people there, expecially in the favela, the people were just normal people. but dancing, playing the drums, dancing samba, laughing, having a great time as a whole. that was amazing, i hope to be back to see it next year as well.
Another thing that left me awestruck was in Germany, it was under a bridge were a christian group was having a bbq for the local homeless people, i was there with the homeless people because i was broke and hungary. everyone was eating full meals, chicken, sausage, really good food like. then there was a play; a man was sitting on a bench and was approached by another man who had a cell phone. the first man took the cell phone and the man who approached him put a chain around his wrist. the 1st man continued talking on the phone and was then approached by a woman, this woman put a chain around his other wrist and left him with a broken heart. so when he was approached by a man with a bottle, the first man accepted and took a drink, only to have a wrist wrapped in chains. after that came a drug addict, who also put a chain around the first mans wrist in change of a hit of heroin. by this time the first man was very out of his mind, and crying, crying crying crying. then jesus came. and one by one he took the chains from the man and put them onto hisself. as jesus was taking the chains off of the first man, and putting them onto his own wrist the whole crowd of homeless people cheered. and louder and louder everytime. what shocked and left me awestruck was the fact that the people around didnt understand. they could not, or refused to, draw parellel lines from the person in front of them back to themselves.
