CURRENT MISSION

Make people happy

ABOUT ME

Living in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. I feel like my home changes too often. If I could only stop meeting such GREAT people, I could slow down on the traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Why upon your first voyage as a passenger, did you yourself feel such a mystical vibration, when first told that you and your ship were now out of sight of land?...But that image, we ourselves see in all rivers and oceans. It's the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all. ~H. Melville

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Racial injustice around the world. Poverty. War. When man solves these three great problems he will have squared his moral progress with his scientific progress. And, more importantly, he will have learned the practical art of living in harmony. ~MLK Jr.
