Hi all, I'm an American guy living outside of Tokyo in Chiba for the last 4 years off and on.
I've spent 2 years living in Vietnam, 2 years in India, and travelled throughout Europe, Australia, Brazil, Thailand, Nepal and a a few other places :)

Couchsurfing has been good to me, and I like to pay it forward by hosting adventurers and pilgrims on the trail!

My interests include meditation, yoga, philosophy, healthy/organic food, playing guitar, art and architecture, nature, hiking, cooking, great conversation, reading, exploring new places and cities, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To pay forward the good karma from past surfing expeditions abroad!
I have a large house in Goko now, so its not a big deal to host.
