I'm a bum musician and former chemist. In 2016 I quit my job and spent a year living in and traveling around Southeast Asia. It was a wonderful experience, and although I didn't do any surfing out there, I met a lot of people through CS arranged events and meetups. Love the community.

I previously lived in a house in which we hosted a large number of different international students. I always enjoyed meeting people from new cultures and gaining a fresh perspective on life from them.

I returned from Asia in late 2017 and have been working as a chemist to raise funds for new adventures. I just quit my job (again) and now am looking forward to exploring as much of the US as possible.

I'm super laid back and get along pretty well with most people (except for jerks).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just got back from a year in SE Asia. Looking to travel the USA and meet awesome people.

Interests

I'm a sucker for music, art and baked goods. I'm a musician myself. I've done some photography and video work just for fun. I'm very interested in experiencing different ways of life.

• photography
• coffee
• music
• live music

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to everything. I've read almost everything by Stephen King. Subsequently I'm a bit of a sucker for horror movies. I have pretty dark taste in art although I'm a surprisingly upbeat and chipper person.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Log wrestled locals in Laos, worked on an elephant sanctuary in Thailand.
