About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Live well and enjoy life
ABOUT ME
What to say about me...I have been living abroad for 20 years. Travelled for 10 years around the world while working as a Diving Instructor. Then I lived 10 years in Thailand running my own diving school.
My main interests are travels, sports, cultures, languages, music and photography.
I love discussing any topics of life and exchanging point of ideas and opinions.
I moved recently to Canada and lived in Montreal as well. So far, so good...:-)
PHILOSOPHY
Be good and kind to people. Live your life well and enjoy every moment of it. Balance is a must in everyday life. Stay open minded, value life and people around you.
One say, Try not to become a man of success, but rather a man of value.
- Albert Einstein
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I am now settled in Toronto and can finally offer a couch to travellers. I know how it is to be on the road and keeping his bucks for better use than accomodation.
I don't mind to host people for couple of days, maybe more if the feeling is good.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I started to use this website not long ago and have been hosted by a great guy in Toronto for the first time. It's a great concept and wish to share this with others.
