CURRENT MISSION

Rage. On.

ABOUT ME

I'm a 28 year old that's lived in Washington, DC, Santiago de Chile, Buenos Aires, London, and Bonn (Germany). I now find myself doing PhD research in Bangkok, Thailand. My gf, who's a writer, is with me and we're trying to see as much as possible while we're in this part of the world.

I consider myself fairly well traveled, but always looking for the next awesome place to see. When I travel I like wandering neighborhoods, eating with locals, and making new friends. Basically, I like becoming enmeshed in everyday life. I'm looking for a host that can help me experience that fully.

[Just a note: this used to be a joint account with my best friend/roommate Layne in Washington, DC. I pour a glass of champagne out for those times.]

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOSTING

If you like having a chill, laid back experience, I'm the right host. I always give my guests suggestions on must-sees and also a bit of local color.

In particular, I know the gay scene in any city I live in. If that appeals to you, I can definitely highlight the bright spots.

Traveling a lot until December, so that's why 'maybe accepting guests'. Current itineraries: Japan (Aug 6-19), Vietnam (Sept 5-16), parents visiting (Oct 5-17), India (Nov 1-18)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Generic answers:
1. Machu Picchu
2. Iguazu Falls
3. Teotihuacan

Other experiences that are hard to put into words: seeing the sun rise after leaving a house party in Santiago de Chile, sipping on caiparinhas on a boat rocking gently back and forth towards a private island near Rio de Janeiro, talking your way out of being asked for a bribe by a Mexican policeman/security guard. The list goes on.
