About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To live in the moment as much as possible, to learn from others and to share my understanding of life so far.

ABOUT ME

I'm a home person, not a party goer, a little serious maybe, I love to talk about life and how we exist and coexist.

I'm a gay man, I love conversation and helping others. .

I love to connect with honest, open people, who like to share and learn from each other.

I like to cook and eat, I love street food and love learning simple tasty new recipes.

I SCUBA dive and love to swim in the sea/ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

To connect, learn from and share my experiences of life and living in the moment.

To live in the moment and to get and give the most I can to life and the world.

My best wishes :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been a member of CS before and have hosted in Pattaya, Thailand and at my home in Bahceli near Kyrenia, northern Cyprus, but this is a new profile, I lost the other and my email account was hacked, so here I am again with a new account.

I am happy to host people wherever I am, to meet and connect, I get a lot from meeting people and making one less stranger in the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw my son born, amazing.

Dived and saw turtles close up in Lembongan Island, Bali.

I love to travel. I love to connect with people and hear their experiences, I learn so much from others.

I am becoming the person I’d like to be, one day at a time. Living an authentic and honest existence, and trying to stay in the moment and enjoy every minute.
