American who left his job of 10 years and is seeing the world by living in cities/countries abroad for a few months at a time.

I'm a contemplative person who loves to meet new people from different parts of this beautiful world and know more about their cultures and interests :)

***PHILOSOPHY***

(1) BE BRAVE, TAKE RISKS, NOTHING CAN SUBSTITUTE EXPERIENCE!!

(2) COMPARISON IS THE THIEF OF JOY!

(3) THE LESS ROUTINE THE MORE LIFE.

(4) THE WORLD IS A BOOK, AND THOSE WHO LIMIT THEIR EXPERIENCES READ ONLY ONE CHAPTER.

(5) I DON'T NEED MANY THINGS, BUT HUMAN CONNECTIONS AND NEW EXPERIENCES ARE MY LIFEBLOOD.

(6) STRIVING TO BE BETTER AND LIVING MORE HONESTLY BRING ME PURPOSE.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet as many people from around the world as possible and to visit as many places and countries around the world as possible and learn about them as i go because this is a passion to me :)
