- "im not afraid of death, but in no hurry to die"

PHILOSOPHY

no to -isms or absolute truths, we can never know everything ever so never pre judge and always keep an open mind, in this sence, for me, freedom is openness, from the open road to open skies, an open heart and an open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

hopping an iron ore train in mauritania: jumped on a laden iron ore train from the middle of the desert and rode it through the night to the coast.
laguna quilotoa: this volcanic lake in ecuador was such a mission to get to but was one of the most peacefull, incredible places i've ever been.

Teach, Learn, Share

been playin guitar for ageeees but should be alot better, i think the problem is i never practice. know quite abit about about development issues and social justice as i studied international development and now work in this field. I also have worked some time as an english and am always happy helping people improve their english - especially as I know how important and enriching learning a new language is.
