CURRENT MISSION

I want to give hope to people, to make friends, and to live in solidarity with the oppressed.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by a personal rule of life, focusing on right relationship with others. I want to treat others as they and I would like to be treated. I seek to deepen my understanding of humanity and all creation. I try to focus on those who are marginalized and oppressed, in order to learn from them and live in solidarity with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am always open to hosting guests when I can. I don't want to just "consume" experiences, but hope to create meaningful bonds with people wherever I travel. Sometimes that may be by hosting or being hosted, but it can also just be in conversations with people in their hometown or in mine.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have only really used couchsurfing once, so far, and it was incredibly helpful. I hope to use it a lot more.
