CURRENT MISSION

To experience the nuances of different cultures, to have travel be the catalyst for a mind opening dialectic of culture and experience

To experience the authentic part of a country/region/city/town/village and avoid the touristic veil by means of the gracious, appreciated insight and guidance of locals.

to meet new people over a beer, coffee, tea or water and learn new things and perspectives and viewpoints on any matter that may come up in conversation.

ABOUT ME

love music, film, philosophy, history and listening to passionate people talk about the things they love.

PHILOSOPHY

I'll leave this simple because my way of thinking is just a schmorgasboard of ideas...to listen, learn and share. general open mindedness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
