CURRENT MISSION

collecting resources to acquire my pet cat i call Booze. No, it's not what you're thinking. i also think, we should treat napkin holders with a little more respect. That's about as much profundity, i can eke out. until next year then.

ABOUT ME

now now...it might compromise the position of my agents on the field. besides, i really need more coffee to be able to do this thing. where are my napkins?

PHILOSOPHY

Everyone is free to be whatever, do whatever and not feel guilty about it but they won't. i'd like to know why. i'd also like to know why it's imperative to keep changing my toothbrush every now and then and bathe regularly. now, where's the bloody wine?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

well, for me, life's all about conversation...listening first and then returning the favour by talking enough to effect some snoozing. but seriously, i just want to connect with a whole lot of people from everywhere. i find everything interesting so really i want to participate by meeting travellers, hosting them if possible, showing them around my city and learning from them. we can always exchange napkin holders as well.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

unfortunately, i havent done much couchsurfing but i did have my wonderful friend from New York City, host me back in 2004. her name is Anjani and she is an absolute angel. i landed into NYC in the late afternoon after it took me 3 hours to get from JFK into Manhattan. it was wet and cold and crowded and lonely. i checked into this hostel, near about Times Square, was horrified by the place. depressed and disoriented. the reception phone rings, the manager tells me its for me. strange since this was my first time here. It was Anjani. she insisted i stay with her. She took a cab from Queens's to come get me. and that's when i knew what friends are about.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

life threatening actually. i went jet skiing off this Indonesian island, when i didnt know how to swim. the ride started great, felt like i was flying, one wrong turn, i fell off, immersed for a bit, life jacket had me bobbing up. apart from that, many of these wine soirees where we tast 30 wines in an afternoon and can't recollect whose kitchen we we woke up in, later that evening

Teach, Learn, Share

All i know is i know nothing. even that line is a borrowed one.
