About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I live life at it's fullest... Experiencing is what I'm here for, nothing else matters.

ABOUT ME

I'm a very simple person. Living through life one moment at a time. Accepting all experiences and choosing to perceive things in a way that makes it the most enjoyable for me. If the way I see life can put a smile on your face then that makes me even happier.

I don't have expectations, I have preferences.

I create my own reality and so do you, remember that... read the box bellow to see how this affects your stay at my wife and I's place.

PHILOSOPHY

When I realized that there is no "Good or Bad" I became so free. I incorporate as many beliefs as I can to give myself the freedom to choose the perspective that brings me the most joy from any experience I have or witness.

We are such powerful beings that we can even create a belief system of self limitation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met so many wonderful people through my journey that have helped me so much to learn and experience their culture and part of their lives. I only wish to return the favor by sharing my home and my life with other travelers.

*** Keep in mind, mutual respect is the key to a great experience ***

Also, If you completely read my profile, you will see that I'm a live and let live kind of person. So, if you stay here, please don't wait around the house in the morning expecting that I will fill your day. I will help you with all the information that I have for you to enjoy the local attractions, and If I can go with you somewhere, I'll let you know ahead of time to see if you want to incorporate it in your plans. Also, what I found that helps: check the local groups of the city and you'll find many people suggesting things to do and places to meet them. Of course, if you had a hard trip and you want to rest, that's fine, otherwise, you should be going out to see all that Montreal has to offer and if need be, you might have to leave the house with us.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hitchhiked from Canada to Brazil being hosted through 12 countries and especially in Brazil. Some on this site and other sites as well. This is the greatest tool for a traveler. What a treasure!
