ABOUT ME

I am a free spirited, open minded guy who likes to travel the world to meet new people and experience interesting cultures.
The more exotic, the better.
I believe we can all live in peace and make the world a better place. We are all One.
I respect mother earth and I am grateful for the opportunities life has presented to me.

PHILOSOPHY

Peace, Love, Light, Compassion

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been fortunate enough to have friends who have provided a couch for me all over the globe, whether it was in the U.S., in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Venezuela, all over Europe, in the Middle East or in the deepest Himalaya.
Whenever I have a couch available it is my pleasure to give back and host the ones in need for a place to rest. Since I am mostly on the road this isn't an easy feat, but I will be able to meet and help you with anything I can, whether it is tips on what to do for sightseeing or to help you land a job somewhere.
