CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world, meet new people... then set things on fire with them

ABOUT ME

I've been told I'm unique, that you will never meet someone quite like Stephen Karasek... for better or worse :P

PHILOSOPHY

I follow Jesus- not necessarily the Church, as it doesn't always agree.

Whether you believe Him to be divine or just a man, He has some good things to say.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
