Hey, my name's Jesse. I'm male. I don't know why my profile says unknown gender, and I can't seem to figure out how to change that. This is my first time traveling abroad, solo, and overseas. I've wanted to do this for a very long time and am excited for this journey and the people I will meet, the experiences I will have, and the cultures that I will embrace. As a tenant I am very clean and respectful. I am very friendly and sociable, as well I have strong awareness and communication skills, so I know when to give people space and I don't have invasive personality. I am also a trained chef and really enjoy cooking for friends. This is my first time surfing so I'm very excited to meet all these new people, and am grateful to be allowed to stay in their homes. Look forward to meeting you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling abroad and need reasonable priced lodging, as well I think it is a great way to meet people and find out about the places I'll be residing in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Overcome some harsh challenges in my past, and watched others do the same.

Teach, Learn, Share

As I said I'm a trained chef, been working professionally for 6 years. My skills vary in multitudes of styles and cuisines. Always happy to teach, eager to learn more, and always enjoy making food for people.

I've trained as a musical theatre singer and performer since I was eight. I love to sing, and to entertain people. With my years of trading I am always happy to show others techniques to expand their range and hone their skills.
