About Me

I am a current doctor of optometry, living in Sacramento. I travel the world with my girlfriend and meet new people and discover new places.

Current Camera: GoPro Hero 7

Past Travels:
HK: 5.26 - 6.02.2019
Taiwan: 6.02 - 6.22.2019

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

1. Find out new things about the world I have never heard before
2. Discover the world so I know what it is like in other cities around the world.
3. Meet and discover new people and new places.
4. Get away from the monotony of staying in one single place

Interests

Making Music. Singing (poorly). Creating things. Playing games (board, video, etc). Video Games - Playing League of Legends since Pre-Season 1. Exploring places/eating things I haven't already discovered (Very open!)

I'm up for anything! I do prefer doing things in smaller groups though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can probably tell what you want from life in about 10 questions! But I won't do that unless you want me to.
If you need help with something, I am glad to lend a helping hand anyway I can (esp tech, very tech savvy)

I am very tolerant on lifestyle choices so I hope to hear more about your unique ways!
