I love to laugh! -- there's always a need for laughter. I love the natural smile that grows on my face when witnessing acts of kindness or love. Any experience that involves meeting new people, sharing stories, thoughts, or ideas energizes me. I love to learn and hope to always be immensely curious about everything.

I enjoy having conversations that motivate, inspire, and make us feel what life is all about.

Anything that stimulates the mind attracts me. I like meditation which has helped me live life with more mental peace (only when I find the discipline to sit!)

Traveling to different countries has encouraged me to keep my sense of adventure alive and continue to be inspired by the people in this world. My goal so far, is to leave the world better than when I found it!😊💡

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to show people a world that they can connect with; a world they can enter and from that, influence others in positive ways from their own experiences. There's so much in this world we are unfamiliar with, be it an idea or way of life, I'd like to connect that gap. I'd also like to hear stories of people who have lead interesting lives. Hopefully we can teach each other about our lives and help each other become more understanding human beings.

The power of conversation and the power of action is capable of reinventing our lives. That's what I believe anyway. Strong turning points in my life have occurred through inspired conversation that I've shared with others. That's why I hope to talk with people wanting to live the same life of passion, filled with love, and using courage generated from a knowing that we're all going to die soon.

How to Make Your Request Stand Out?

I would like to borrow the idea of a man named David Li, who is a friend of one of my friends, Kota. I would like to ask you to answer one of the following four questions. There's no right or wrong answer, but I tend to like people with the ability to think and communicate.

Question 1
I agree with the following statement by Mark Manson.

"True love — that is, deep, abiding love that is impervious to emotional whims or fancy — is a choice. It’s a constant commitment to a person regardless of the present circumstances. It’s a commitment to a person who you understand isn’t going to always make you happy — nor should they! — and a person who will need to rely on you at times, just as you will rely on them." - Mark Manson

What is true love to you?

Question 2
What's the difference between romance and friendship, if sex is not a factor?

Question 3
What's the best birthday gift you have ever given to someone?

Question 4
In contrast to other planets in our solar system, why do we have something on our planet instead of nothing?

I would like to ask you to properly file your couch surfing request. I realized that the scene has changed a lot, and I feel sad about the fact that some people drop one liners. Please state why you want to meet me and what you want to share with me along with your answer to one of the questions above. I appreciate true Couch Surfing spirit.
