About Me

I am on the way to finish my undergraduate degree very soon but what’s next? That’s a good question but besides my academic life, I am a simple gentleman that enjoys adventurous activities. I appreciated all my low budget trips so far and I'm looking forward to continuing this!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a broken college student that could not afford Airbnb sometimes.

Predominantly, I love traveling and meeting new people because life is too short to ignore decent people! I couchsurfed several times (Philadelphia, Austin, San Francisco, Portland, Miami, and Little Rock) and it's been blessed every time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I only hear what sounds good to me :D Country or Hip-hop?

sheesh, I was the biggest movie geek on the dorm floor years ago because my college was not as excited as movies indicated... For that reason, I collected over 150 DVDs since.

I usually read the newspaper and drink coffee on a daily basis. Furthermore, when internet runs out of information, I instead read suspenseful books such as Time Machine by HG Wells.... Also, recently, I started to immerse myself in Stephen King’s books... 11.22.63 mind blew me every time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rescued my basset/bloodhound puppy two years ago! His name is Goofy.... (he is very well trained, yet, very lazy.)

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy skimming various histories on the internet when I'm boring.

I also enjoy learning new things everyday that also enables me to become a better blogger!

I have instructed American Sign Language (ASL) in clubs so feel free to ask me for a free short ASL lesson!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a hearing loss. That being mentioned, I highly preferred signing only because it's my primary language. I can speak and lip-read but I'm not fluent in them. Gesturing/texting/writing back and forth will be helpful!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Puerto Rico, Russian Federation

Countries I’ve Lived In

Russian Federation
