ABOUT ME

living and learning. living and learning.
In essence: if you meet me tomorrow you will be with the better me of yesterday.
Very flexible and easy going person. Typically interested in meeting people.

My mantra: never go out of your way to harm another: better them or leave them alone.

PHILOSOPHY

Take care of your business and master thyself.

Love exists, and there is no question about it.

Remember that informal education is education, too. Though it may lack structure, much can and should be gained from outside of the formal classroom setting.

"Research shows.." "Studies say.." "They say.." "It has been proven that.." That is nice, but if I cared about what they said at this very moment, then I would Google it, really. Now that I am talking to you, I would like to know what YOU think, negligent of the research, studies, theys, and its. Our minds still carry independent intelligence, and sometimes its preferred to hear a lesser known thought. Thank you :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

IN GENERAL:

Couchsurfing seems to be the place where one can seriously meet some of the most open, most free-thinking, and very worldly people. I really do enjoy meeting new people on a global level, and find life more meaningful and worthwhile when interacting with open-minded, positive, and genuine individuals. When I travel, I prefer to engage with the local person rather than other tourists. I want to know what your country is like from you :) #CouchsurfingForTheWin

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At times I want to mention the kindness of others is something amazing, but then I pause and think about it, reason being because we are supposed to be kind. Didn't we learn this as children? However, due to all the past occasions in which we have done wrong to one another, the acts of kindness that do take place in between are now considered amazing in comparison.
