CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an American living in Malta. I work as a web developer and entrepreneur, giving me lots of freedom to travel and live abroad, which I love! You can learn more about me at: http://zader.com

PHILOSOPHY

I enjoy diverse perspectives... My own philosophy is mostly influenced by Buddhism and novelist-philosopher Ayn Rand. I'm a libertarian (fan of cultural as well as economic freedom) who also values meditation and personal development. See my blog at http://muditajournal.com for more of my thoughts on such subjects.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm brand new to CS, but it's been recommended to me by many friends over the years. I'd like to participate both by offering assistance to travelers (since our own place may be too small to host comfortably at this time) and meeting new friends during my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed hosting friends in my home and staying with friends who have a spare room or an inflatable mattress to share.

When I lived in Albuquerque (New Mexico), I often hosted friends who were traveling east or west on I-40, in the Southwestern United States.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2009 I embarked on the adventure of my life -- moving to Serbia -- with no prior experience with international travel. I was amazed by the number of friendly people who made my journey more comfortable and enjoyable!
