About Me

I'm from the East Bay Area in California, but have been living in Taiwan for the last 5 years. I teach 6 days a week and spend the rest of my time on projects and adventures. I ride my bike everywhere in and out of the city everyday for transportation. Work a lot with the zine and art community in the city doing shows and installations. Skate around. Do a bit of yoga. And usually go out partying on the weekends. I have a pretty nice kitchen so I enjoy cooking everyday for myself and friends. There's a nice open market down the street.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have an extra room guest room that I was thinking about using for Air BNB but Couchsurfing seems better. I didn't want to deal with the money and illegal aspects. I also like being a host. Cooking for people and making a comfortable environment. Sharing my experiences, art and interests with people visiting seems exciting. I also think it's a bit of a waste having this house all to myself.
