CURRENT MISSION

To meet people

ABOUT ME

I made my mission to connect with people and help out wherever I can. Whether it's a formal organization or a one time thing I try to make a difference in the places I go. I like learning and sharing what I learn. Think of me as an ethnographer in an anthropological sense. I try to find the things about us human beings that are similar. My hope is to make new friends along the way and contribute positively on my travels.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is somber without travel and connecting with human beings. I know when I fly and meet people it is the most energetic and inspiring state to be in. Knowledge without application is useless, and so I go forth to pay it forward.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to help out wherever I go. Learn from people and help them if they wish. There is a reason I have learned so many things, and that's because I want to be useful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

A friend of my brother let me surf their sofa for a night in Idaho. They were so nice to lend me a truck and let me stay at their place when I surprise visited my father. I did a little bit of fix it work to the truck as a thank you.

Teach, Learn, Share
