About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Build a Dream Resort

ABOUT ME

I'm a native Human; I work mostly for myself because I crave the freedom to have control over myself and my life. My main occupation is am a medical Doctor (Radiology and Nuclear Medicine) and various opportunistic ventures that come up throughout the year. I do a lot of different things and I enjoy all of them. I wish I had the power to stop working any and all of these ventures anytime. I manage to travel a lot thanks to resourcefulness. I work when I want and I take off when I want, and I'd rather die poor on the streets than live a miserable life working for somebody else on somebody else's terms.
I love to eat food. I am also the primary source on how to eat well and also cheap, in the city I live. I also love to cook, and love to learn new things from CSers I meet from anywhere in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Love All, Serve All, Live Free.

"When the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will have peace"
- Jimi Hendrix

"If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies; succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you; be honest and frank anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous; be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow; do good anyway…
You see, in the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway."
- Mother Teresa

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host couch surfers at my apartment , and I couch surf everywhere I go when I travel!

I try to host as many CSers as I can; I've got a big apartment here so I want to make the most of it and offer it to you travelers on CS! So, if you think you'll have a fun time here with me and my friends, then go ahead and write a CS request to me! I guarantee you'll have a crazy time if you ever surf with me (or if you host me, too!) so try your luck writing to me!

Interests

Music, movies, food, technology, and Traveling are all great passions of mine. I especially love sports- football and basketball. I love to run long distance, and weightlifting at the gym. Half-marathons are my favorite. I'll go out running and run as fast and as far and as long as I can every time.
I also love food and will try (almost) anything except Pork. I have been to more than 6 countries already and have traveled a decent amount during my time in the University, and I have a passion to experience and learn about cultures from all over the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and movies. I consider music really to be the soundtrack to my life. I like many different genres, my taste is very wide-ranging.Credit Goes to Mike Ritner and Andy Husney for introducing me to Buddha Bar and shpongle i love that

I love movies and Documentaries i have a huge collection!

I enjoy to read, but I rarely can make time to sit down and read an entire book. Books slow me down, there is so much out there in life to do! I have many half-finished books just waiting for the right time to finish. I used to read the newspaper and magazines every day when I was a kid. Now I am in a constant state of learning everything about anything through whatever resources are available.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to say that the most amazing experience I had was in 2006 when I came to china ... and when I Traveled from North of China to down South

But now, it's no question that the most amazing thing I've done was my Trip to Guangzhou a 52 hours Train ride standing.

I met Amazing Zhongguo Rens across the states, and had such a great time, meeting so many people, seeing so many places, and so much more intangibles I can't even begin to write about on here! Filled with motivation, intensity, inspiration, sports, nostalgia, new experiences, old friends and new., happiness, adversity, agony, perseverance, exhilaration.. blood, sweat, and tears... I truly loved it :-)

I love sharing stories about where I've been and what I've done, I could go on forever talking about everything exciting and funny over the years!

Teach, Learn, Share

Make the most of your life while you're here. See the world, do something special with your life to make a difference. Anything. You don't need to strive to be Martin Luther King Jr. or Steve Jobs. Do something to make a difference in your own life, then your family, your friends, loved ones, even strangers, anyone you can reach! Even if you can make the world a better place for just one person, it's worth the effort.

I live my life as if every second and every inch counts; for me, there's just no other way to live! The little details in life add up, and they really do make all the difference.
