About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Being an adventurist, keeping the mind open, attempting to experience everything, being a local wherever I go

ABOUT ME

I guess a good way to describe myself is basically my personal philosophy.

More mission statements: Being the greatest wingman ever.
Getting a haircut in every country.

PHILOSOPHY

Never refuse an invitation, never resist the unfamiliar, never fail to be polite and never outstay the welcome. Just keep your mind and suck in the experience. And if it hurts, it's probably worth it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
