CURRENT MISSION

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” -Mark Twain

ABOUT ME

For the moment, I'm on this site to promote the activities of the charity I started - The Flying Frog

PHILOSOPHY

"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." Mark Twain

"Those you dream by day are cognizant of many things which escape those who only dream at night" Edgar Alan Poe

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've listed events in Paris for my charity.
August 2013 - looking into my first foray into 'surfing' in Iceland.

Interests

I started a charity called The Flying Frog (in Paris) to create a community of support for the friends and family of cancer patients; and to raise funds to fight blood cancers.
