I work where I am needed, mostly in western and central Asia. When I'm not working I travel as much as possible. I love meeting new people and experiencing new places and different cultures. Love people and animals... and beer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend told me about it and said he'd used it many times in his travels. I don't know too much about it yet... I'm a couchsurfing virgin.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and my buddy climbed Mt. Misen on Miyajima island near Hiroshima (extremely hung over and wearing flippy floppies) then drank water from the cauldron hanging over the "Kiezu no Hi" (the eternal flame) a holy fire that's been burning for like 1200 years. Thanks Kobo Daishi.
Side note: When we reached the top we learned that there were a series of lifts that we could have taken.... rather than hike it in 100 degree jungle heat... but that wouldn't have been much of a story.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm super clean and respectful. ... and I can cook.
