CURRENT MISSION

Earn 1,000,000 award miles... I'm not close.

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think of myself as an adventurous nomad temporarily living in an urban metroplex. I live for new experiences; new experiences ranging anywhere from visiting a foreign country, meeting people from different walks of life, to eating a mysterious flavored jelly bean.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live a life with no regrets or inhibitions. I have yet to meet a dishonest, ungrateful traveller/surfer so I guess you could say I generally give people the benefit of the doubt.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having only stayed with three hosts, I guess I'm fairly new to couch surfing but I've had great experiences thus far. Now that I have my own place, I'd like to return the favor and start hosting myself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I stayed with a host in Oregon and two hosts in Japan. Those experiencing were priceless and I feel like I've only scratched the surface of what couchsurfing has to offer.

Interests

I consider myself quite a movie buff but if I were to meet another self-proclaimed movie buff, I'd probably be humbled. I enjoy exploring new music genres via reddit or spotify. I have a passion for trying unusual foods and becoming a beer connoisseur. I also love to make decisions on a whim, especially while travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stumbled upon an annual religious festival called "Sanja Matsuri" during my visit in Tokyo. I've never seen so many people crammed into tiny alleyways, cheering incomprehensibly, and eating every variety of squid known to man.
