About Me

ABOUT ME

I have done a decent amount of traveling and want to do more. In my travels i have seen many different places, walking among people who's lives are the things bad movies are made of, yet they were happy, then others who lived in grandeur with sorrow, watching the end of one person's life that was colorful and that which was not, all has taught me that tomorrow can bring confounding change when you least expect it.
I cant always choose how life will go, but ill make sure that when it's all said and done i can look back knowing i did what i could.

I want to go through life as some one that helps to inspire others, even if in only the slightest way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A friend mentioned it to me as a great way to meet some awesome people. I'm hoping that i can see the real side to your city/town/village, not just face value, but the way that you see it.

in that same notion, i as well will help others to see the true side of where i'm living.

Music, Movies, and Books

100 years of solitude, Edgar Allen poe. as for movies I like any. I love all kinds if music, nujabes all the way to the beetles.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

i remember when i lived in Korea some of my Korean friends were involved in the pro skateboard scene out there, they invited me along for a big competition that was right in the center of the Haeundae summer beach festival, and THEN asked me to judge, it was awesome. i remember the heat of the summer, the DJ playing "digital love-daft punk", and just everyone having a good time and all the competitors being really supportive of each other.

i have a lot of things that i have done in the past that are amazing, at least to me, get to know me and we can share our stories.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well i currently live in Guam, a small island in the pacific so if you visit i can show you all i know of the "rock", there's many things to do here that are fun and that the tour companies wont take you too. i hope we can share stories and experiences to help learn from one another, one person cant possibly learn all there is by ones-self.

What I Can Share with Hosts

well, i consider myself a pretty decent cook so there's always food.
also i get out of the house a lot so i can show you around to all the fun spots, be it a waterfall or a waterhole (bar).

Also i hope we can exchange our cultures a bit and be better accustomed to each others ways.
