CURRENT MISSION
Learn to Trumpet!

ABOUT ME
My name is Mike and I love traveling through active adventure and experiencing culture through food. Let's do something that breaks a sweat, gets off the tourist track, and find out bellies!

PHILOSOPHY
"From the submission of our desires springs the virtue of resignation; from the freedom of our thoughts springs the whole world of art and philosophy, and the vision of beauty by which, at last, we half reconquer the reluctant world. But the vision of beauty is possible only to unfettered contemplation, to thoughts not weighted by the load of eager wishes; and thus Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of Time." -Bertrand Russell

"Eternal vigilance and constant mobility are the passwords of survival" -Che Guevarra

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Travelled from Shanghai to London mostly by train and staying exclusively with surfers. This is no doubt the best way to see the sights you would never see, do the things you would never do, engage in extraordinary conversations about local life, philosophies, cuisine, and the great mystery of it all!
