I like being active and have a hard time staying still for long. I love experiencing food from other cultures. I fell in love with espresso in Rome, bakeries in France, and I am recently a huge fan of how the UK drinks tea. Pizza is awesome pretty much anywhere you go. I am currently learning French. For a living, I invest in real estate and I do computer/network/security consulting.

For the summer, my family is staying in southwest France. We’ve loved it so far.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m here to meet people and have fun when traveling alone or together with my wife. It’s more fun to have a glass of wine with interesting company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a nasty tour bus wreck in Thailand. My hand hurts.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about American or Thai culture, English language, personal finance/investing (from a US perspective), and information security. I can share what I have learned about making espresso at home, and what I’ve learned myself doing flooring, electrical, and plumbing (US) and maintaining my house and rental houses.
