About Me

CURRENT MISSION

What is water...

ABOUT ME

Currently living and working in Japan.My passions are rowing, cycling, reading and giving back to others. I'm a bit advocate when it comes to Karma, trust me its real.

As for my self I'm a pretty laid back guy, always up for intellectual conversations or even a chat about nonsense... I find my personality is very flexible and accommodating towards anyone i meet, and I'm always willing to offer an open hand when needed.

Cheers.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoying life to its fullest!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My participation in the CS project is by spreading a positive and informative word to my close friends and family. I've "converted" many friends to look into CS rather than spending huge amounts of money at Hotels and Hostels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Well it started in the summer of 2009 when my friend Eric and I decided to cycle through the Rockie Mountains. As we were planning out our trip we noticed that their weren't many hostels in the region that we were cycling through. So we decided to take an alternative route and try CS! We managed to get in contact with 5 CS's, and all of hosts were amazing, all of them were so friendly, caring, and very hospitable. Regardless of beautiful sights and stimulating sounds and smells along our ride it was the CS's that made it a truly amazing experience!
