About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To become a permanent traveler, meeting new people, making new friends, and seeing even more of the world. I am trying to live in as many countries as I can, and learn as many languages as I can. Too little time, too many places!

ABOUT ME

I am very laid back, and easy to get along with. Tolerant and accepting of all types of people. I am looking to make new friends, improve my Khmei, take dancing lessons, and enjoy life to the fullest! I have a couch.

PHILOSOPHY

Your life is a story. Make it a good read.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have recently moved back to the USA.

Thanks to all the great surfers who came see my house and garden in China! I do not have a suitable place to surf now, I will update my profile when I do.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted several people, and I stayed at a great house in Hermosillo in 2009.

Interests

Music. All kinds. I was formerly a radio and nightclub dj prior to my latest career.
Cooking - I enjoy a good meal, perhaps too much!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The sun setting through the clouds, 5 minutes before sunset, casting a deep red hue on Superstition Mountain, Arizona, USA.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an excellent, creative cook. I know music very well. I have experience setting up and running a business. I know the ins and outs and tricks of finance.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can show you around Phnom Penh, help set you up, get a place to stay either short or long term, and assist with travel plans or getting employment. I know many great restaurants for Western and Khmer cuisine. Lots of this you can do with a basic search, but if you want the experienced local touch I can help you.
