I came to find a place to stay, although what comes around goes around so im more than happy to host as well
ABOUT ME
Hello, I am back using couchsurfing again and will be traveling to South East Asia!. I hope I find some awsome peoples and couches to surf! I am a fun loving active individual. I love walking the city or hiking in the mountain I would prefer. I love to see new sights, meet new people, try new food, be in a completely new and scary area with just a backpack, but it sure would be nice to have a couch to base from. Smile. I am now a world traveler, I have been in spain for almost a year and had a blast, but needed to move on before I spent my life there. Since i wrote that i have been all over Asia . 😊
PHILOSOPHY
What comes around goes around. Be kind and live a constructive and fruitful life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have hosted in Hawaii and in Oregon, and now traveling I hope it will be as easy as I have made it on my guests...
Interests
Lots. Many many many many! But ok I will list a few. I love art, all art. I myself like to draw and construct artistic projects. I draw people, and fairly good with nudes. I have recently just started trying using color, in the medium of oil. I painted a few girls on the beach and they turned out, ok. Color is hard for me but I am learning. I love all outdoor activities. Hiking climbing water sports, love the beach, I don't know you name it I'm sure I will love it. I love to cook and bake especially. I am a very good baker of bread and of course I love to bake lots of sweets like cakes and brownies and cookies and, well I have a few specialties up my sleeve as well.

Music, Movies, and Books
Love all music if I can understand it. In this I mean if the language is English, so a lot of rap I don't like just because I don't know what the heck they are saying, and a lot of the time, it is not very nice. I like nice. I grew up with folk music and so I suppose this would be my favorite as well. Recently listening to a lot of 'tallest man on earth' have you heard? For movies I love stargate, my old favorite, action movies excitement, anything good hearted, maybe even some Disney haaha I don't know I love most all, just not too awfully boring.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
too many! I have lived a pretty intense life. Ok amazing though, well maybe not to be considered amazing, I have saved peoples lives I guess that could be amazing. The last time on the beach I brought a girl back to life with CPR. I am heavily trained in survival and rescue. But when I first saw this question I was thinking more of my extreme adventures. When I was fourteen I spent two months in the Colorado Rocky Mountains all alone. Living off the land after running out of food. That is a long story that if you are interested in I will go into detail. I also did that one more time the next year, little more prepared.
Teach, Learn, Share
Ummm, well I teach survival and rescue, as well as wildland fire training and chainsaw use. I also do bread making classes. I am a quick learner, and currently learning the Spanish language, but now in Hong Kong that will probably slow a bit. Share... I don't know what to say about that, I share everything, I'd share my last dime and sandwich if I knew it would help another.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am very very clean! I hate disaster houses when I live there. Well don't be worried if your house is not immaculate, I will be happy to have a couch no matter the situation, but if your place is a wreck, you might come home to a little cleaner place cuz I may clean up a bit. I will cook for us if you want. I will clean. I will help in anything you need help and not just be lazy on your couch all day. I am here to give, not just take.
