Hello! Ça va? Was ist los?

I'm a funny guy, thoughtful, with an open minded spirit. I'm always okay to discover new things, other cultures and to meet people from all over the world :) I can talk about everything: history, politics, culture for example or music, sports, and jokes. I LOVE to tell stories. And I have quite a few good ones ;) So I can't wait to trade stories with you!

I currently live and work in beautiful Seattle, Washington. I love to be around people. I live in a house with my 7 best friends. We would love to host you sometime in Seattle ;)

**June 2016**
My best friend Nick and I will be traveling between Paris, Munich, Prague, Berlin, & Amsterdam before Nick starts Medical School in August. Here is Nick's profile link: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/nicholas-lim-5

This will be our first time couch surfing. We've talked with many, many friends who have couch surfed and we're incredibly excited!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet and laugh with real people :) I want to know a city by meeting the people that live there. Hotels are boring; I want to listen to the stories of my host and learn what they love about their city!

I also do not view couch surfing as a "free place to crash at". I really like this article: http://www.angloitalianfollowus.com/why-couchsurfing-is-free-is-a-myth

Interests

Bicycles are my favorite means of transportation on a warm summer day! I also ride an old 1980 Honda CM400 to work. I adore learning the history of the places I visit; you'll always find me reading about a new place before I visit :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed Mt. Adams (second tallest mountain in Washington) with my best friend Nick and our fathers. We rose above the clouds and the sky was the clearest blue. To go down the mountain we slid down the snow slopes on our butts like a slide! 12 hours to climb, 2 hours to slide down! That was the best part :)
