About Me

ABOUT ME

After completing my first degree and being in a corporate job for a year, I decided that I'd rather spend a few more years surviving on ramen and went back to uni to study a bit more.

PHILOSOPHY

Ultimately, we must find our own journey.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Teach, Learn, Share

Have compassion for everyone you meet, even if they don't want it. What appears bad manners, an ill temper or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.
