Hi!

My name is Chimanbai and I go by Chi (Chee). I am from Seaside, CA and have lived in Bend, OR for a year now. I enjoy soccer, backpacking, hiking, disc golf, and playing board games. My vision is to create a nonprofit which uses backpacking as the main therapeutic tool in order to reduce gang-violence and the amount of minors entering the judicial system.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to offer my home to the adventurer on the go and to create great karma, it always comes back around!!!

Teach, Learn, Share
