About Me

Have to completely rewrite this. Last time I wrote this was 2015 saying I'd take a year to travel after quitting my job. But hey. It's 2019 (2018 as I write this) and I'm still a vagabond. Wahoo. Bios are pretty had to write since it makes me look robotic. Also I can understand that the creative language and unique sentence structure I use is hard for non native english speakers.... so judge me by my photos its the easiest way to get a sense of my personality. Instagram:chencommapeter. Follow me if you wanna... or not. I dont care. ok. maybe a little.

TL DR; I travel full time. I like to cook. I like to ski. I like to do things that I have no idea how to do. Oh yeah. I looooooooveeee to eat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Cheesy stuff I wrote 3 years ago... deleted. But now its more clear.

I want to meet great people and help them out to get a good experience. Conversely the same for me to be able to live like a local. That's one thing I learned while I travel... staying in a hostel doesn't really make you learn anything about the country but damn its easy to drink others under the table. So I want to provide and be provided the best locals experience so I can actually be more than just a tourist.

Interests

Everything. But mostly Food. Savory not sweet. So spicy your butt hurts. TMI? again. dont care.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy all kind of music and am super open to exploring new genres and bands. I'm very bad at finding new music but love it when others tell me stuff to listen to.

I don't watch movies very often until they get to Netflix and at that point I'm looking to watch the most terrible ones I can find.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've pet lions and tigers. Shark cage diving with Great White Sharks. I love animal encounters. Safari is the best. (2019 update. sounds good to me. still holds true)
2019 addition
Sleeping under the stars in the Atacama Desert after dodging a park ranger and cowboy camping.
