About Me

CURRENT MISSION

"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal" -Albert Pine

ABOUT ME

I am looking to experience as much of the world as I can. For me the best way to do that is through people. I love learning new things and it is amazing how much can be learned in conversations with strangers.

PHILOSOPHY

"If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there."
- George Harrison

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always down to meet new, interesting people and I am currently looking for a couch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed with friends in Korea and have had a couple of excellent stays in India. What a wonderful way to meet people and share experiences!

Interests

I love music. Playing guitar is probably my favorite thing to do. The beach is my favorite place. I like to bodywomp, dive, play horseshoes, and do anything else that involves hanging out at the beach. I am also a big sports fan, especially basketball. I like to read.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing football in a typhoon was a pretty exciting time...

Teach, Learn, Share

I love showing people guitar basics and teaching them about the history of the greatest basketball team ever, the Los Angeles Lakers. I'd like to learn more about cricket, how to play new musical instruments... I'd like to learn many more things.
