About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enhance my life daily, enriching others’ lives in parallel.

ABOUT ME

Travel broadens my perspective, revealing the commonality of humanity.

PHILOSOPHY

In loving others, we find our own happiness.

In respecting oneself and others, we find harmony's essence.

Love outward mirrors joy within.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved the idea of Energy Exchange. (Example: I love to share meals, share my knowledge and bounce ideas and I love the friendships that are usually formed from Couchsurfing type experiences). Couchsurfing holds a philosophy I admire dearly which I think has faded over the years many places (from my viewpoint anyways).

Interests

Passionate about embracing the great outdoors and the great indoors. I usually like to challenge myself to keep expanding my interests. If you want specifics: I've been an avid (hobbyist) surfer, traveler, hiker, writer and photographer for a while now. Currently keen to get back into Swing Dance and Improv.
