I love to divulge in life's experiences. The corners of my mouth spend much of the time saluting the sun because you can usually find me smiling at what's in front of me, and what's in front of me is usually new places and people. Why, because the feeling of a new experience is like a warm wind dancing around me. Give me new perspectives to surprise me and teach me. Give me another smile to smile back at. Give me new landscapes to marvel at and I am in heaven. The human touch is a profound thing and when you wield it right you can make some truly magnificent connections. I try to stay open and simply absorb the tales of this planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every once in a while when I am met with a moment of silence I try and look to the edge of my life. It is with this act that I can search for what I think will bore meaning in what I have done and will do. What I find myself holding on to so strongly, at the edge, are the images of the people I have encountered and the impressions I have made. It is in the way we handle interactions and foster a positive culture that we can create not only a productive but wondrous world. On the dance floor of life you lead by dancing with confidence and showing that judgment deteriorates in the face of attempt.
