Pretty chill guy. Cerebral. Love conversations, especially ones that feel genuine. I love great journalism, and when I visit a place I try to journal my experiences so that I can process them later on, and see how they change me.

More of a listener at first, up until I find something to connect over and then I have a tendency to ask questions and find common ground

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It would be awesome to meet someone local who can give me some perspective on culture and history! And hopefully connect with a new friend

Music, Movies, and Books

Forrest Gump, as the perennial American movie. All sorts of other ones from junk cinema to serious art.

All sorts of music: Indie, Jazz, Soul, Classical, Pop, etc . . . would love to hear music local to an area new to my experiences

Fan of nonfiction, been on a multi-year self-study of micro/political economics.
But also a fan of great modern fiction; not allergic to classic lit but I do prefer reading in the modern tongue as if it were another person's voice engaging the story

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I freeclimbed the steep cliff to get to that vantage point in my profile picture

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about American / some Filipino culture.
Also if you need some educational entertainment by way of nuclear, atomic, and materials physics.
And my experiences as someone who lived in Manila / Brooklyn / Las Vegas / (and now) Oakland, Bay Area

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food? Experiences?
