29 year old American spending a load of time in SE Asia and all points north from August until November (and possibly longer).

I live by this: never create a net negative in the world. Be good! Keep your promises! It’s not difficult, and things will flow so much better for you and everyone around you if you stay positive. I’m woefully optimistic... so long as I’ve ate recently.

Before I left for my current trip my best friend texted me this, and it’s the greatest compliment I’ve ever received: “Dude, I’ve known you a long time and I’ve noticed something: the universe gets out of your way. I’ve never seen anything like it. You’re going to crush it over there.” I’m going to prove him right!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m a nationally recognised and registered EMT in America! Brought a guy back to life on my first day. That was wild.

Teach, Learn, Share

Cooking, more than happy to perform physical labor. I’ve bartended for almost a decade so I can Ren you some sweet drink recipes. I’m a patient teacher and willing to work to help you understand me, and vice-versa.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Jokes! American culture, I know my way around a kitchen. I have a few good card games we can play, and one of my favorite things in the world is conversation before the sun rises.
