Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To be happy everyday and spend time with worthy people.
ABOUT ME
I try to maintain a positive attitude toward life and what it has to offer. I enjoy: meeting people, smiling and laughing, listening, doing things I have never done before, diverting the norm, sharing, crowds and peace-n-quiet.
PHILOSOPHY
I am an opportunist. When something great pops up I grab it and go for the ride. When nothing great is happening, I make it happen.
I will try anything twice and work to perfect it the first time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have hosted, been hosted and met surfers out. This is a great site with many advantages for any user. If I have an available couch, it is yours.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed about 5 weeks (until I found a semi-permanent residence) in and around Taiwan while searching for work and traveling around this beautiful island.
In a recent trip to Spain in 2010: My friend and I surfed in Merida and Caceras. Then we hosted 4 people at his flat in Seville over New Years. I took a side trip to Loule, Portugal and surfed. We finished my trip by surfing in Jaen, Spain. All in 15 days!
In Yokohama, Japan I attended a CSing event during their annual fireworks show. We were a group of 15 foreigners and locals among 1 million others enjoying the show over the bay.
