CURRENT MISSION

To get through life doing something meaningful.

ABOUT ME

I am an avid fan of reading, music, art, and technology. I appreciate a Haruki Murakami book as much as playing Borderlands II or fiddling around on the piano. I get bored easily and have taken up many hobbies over the years including kyudo, mountain biking, meditation, computer programming, and many more. I want to experience the soul of the country and try to avoid the touristy spots, hence, couchsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

To maintain a childlike joy and curiosity in day to day life. To never cease to be amazed by the things others take for granted, but also to seek out new opportunities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have opened by couch and my village to all that desire...providing they contact me first. I hope others will return the favor.
