About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Photograph every major city in Asia

ABOUT ME

I'm a 27 year old American male living in Osaka, Japan. I love traveling, learning languages, taking pictures, reading, listening to music and eating new foods!

Nothing brings me more happiness than waking up in a new place, a full day of exploration ahead of me.

PHILOSOPHY

We could all use a little more yacht rock in our lives

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently share an apartment with a roommate who is not down with opening up the place to strangers, so unfortunately I do not have a couch to share. Still, I would be happy to meet anyone for coffee and help anyone out if they have questions about Osaka or other cities in Kansai.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but I hope to surf a couple couches on my trip to Taiwan next month!
