About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It is my greatest desire to meet new people that come from all kinds of different backgrounds, in order to appreciate ways of life from a different perspective. By doing so I will begin to understand how to also fully appreciate my own way of life.

ABOUT ME

I care for others. I believe it should be harder for one to hate than to love; that to give is better than to receive, that laughter and joy are contagious qualities, and that people gravitate towards leadership. I believe that there is a God and that His greatest manifestation was through His son. Applying these beliefs and values has profoundly affected my own life and I hope to demonstrate that to others who see the way I live. Such are philosophies of mine, but I am also interested in hearing yours.
The guest/host relationship is as ancient a thought as any, and through couch surfing we can learn to be both better guests and better hosts. I believe in its utility. If you agree then my couch is yours.
