CURRENT MISSION

I'm out to see the world, meet new people, and expierence different cultures.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy going, patient, open-minded and adventurous guy.

Currently, I just finished a one year teaching contract in Japan and am now making my way back to the U.S via Southeast Asia and Europe.

Once I return, I hope to start a career in international logistics or go to graduate school to receive an MBA.

PHILOSOPHY

Always have an open mind to the beliefs and customs of other cultures even if you disagree. I try my hardest to keep to this philosophy.

I recommend that everyone should travel abroad at least once.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to get the word out about couchsurfering to anyone I trust. Since I'm in transition moving back the States, I regrettably cannot offer a couch at the time. But, I plan to open my couch(es)once I am settled in.

I enjoy giving information/recommendations about the places I've lived and visited.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since the time I joined, I have been unable to host anyone other than friends since I didn't own a couch. I have although shared my knowledge and recommendations with other couchsurfers.

Interests

I love laughing, hiking, camping, running, traveling, reading, meeting new people, experiencing new cultures. I'm also interested in Formula 1 and other forms of motor sports, music, and international relations.

I have a passion for trying different foods.
