About Me

I love to travel and try new things. I'm a laid back and easy going guy and love meeting new and awesome people. I'm a middle school teacher and I just moved back to America in 2018 from 5 years in Bangkok and currently in L.A if you're in the neighborhood, say hi :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think Couchsurfing is the best way to have a more local experience and ultimately make new friends and networks around the world. I started couch surfing in Indonesia and I wouldn't have met the friends I did otherwise...and it definitely wouldn't have been nearly as fun :o) I've continued to use CS every time that I travel, I love making new friends and being able to share experiences anywhere. There's so many awesome, interesting and different people around the world, always keep your mind open.

Interests

I love going to new places, cooking, hiking, most water sports, motorbike rides, beaches, new languages, music and I'm always up for an adventure. I love food...especially if it's exotic. I try to avoid things that aren't awesome!
