I think those who have left references for me have done a perfectly adequate job of describing me as a person. Besides, anything I write "all about me" ends up sounding so presumptuous.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

On 2007-2008 Couchsurfing made my trip around the world an incredibly rewarding experience.

Since then, my now fiancee Jessica and I have hosted and been hosted by many. Couch surfing is also how we met some of our best friends in the SF Bay Area through meetups.

Interests

Breathing, sleeping, filming, science-ing, traveling, learning, playing, exploring, cooking, organizing, computering, biking, traveling, board gaming, photographing, etc. (Some of the -ings were unnecessary, but once I got on a roll...it just felt so right).

Music, Movies, and Books

I love a wide variety of movies, from violent like Inglorious Basterd, to children's films (I cry every time Nemo finds his dad...), I love loud death metal, and I love fantasy, sci-fi, philosophy, and science books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'll instead share the single weirdest moment I have experience traveling. In the middle of nowhere Vietnam near Ninh Binh, a local man who spoke little English attempted to communicate with me by means of grinning broadly and stroking a monkey's penis thinking I would find it funny I assume (I guess I did?). When the monkey turned around to prostrate itself, the man deftly flicked it in its little monkey nuts, making it scamper wildly up a tree, and laughed maniacally. Definitely the craziest thing I have seen. Poor monkey.

Teach, Learn, Share

Training dogs to sniff out truffles...no really, but wouldn't that be awesome? Like free truffle salt and truffle oil....mmm...truffles.
