CURRENT MISSION

Make friends in Taipei. Relaunch my journey to visit 100 countries.

ABOUT ME

I'm a pretty quiet guy, but I love adventure. I don't drink, smoke or use drugs. I love to learn new things. I'm really into traveling, especially in Asia. Skateboarding is a huge part of me. I've been skating since I was 12 and I always bring my board with me when I travel to skate in new places. In fact, most of my travels are for the purpose of skating new spots in new cities or countries.

PHILOSOPHY

I live by the golden rule: Treat others how you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've CouchSurfed several times and I leave good reviews for my hosts. Someday soon I will have my own place and be able to offer a bed to a fellow CouchSurfer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It was a last minute thing, while I was in a hotel room with 4 friends in Connecticut on a skateboarding trip that we decided to message someone in Montreal to see if they'd let five random guys stay with them with a short notice. We got a response from two awesome women, both named Anne-Marie, in Montreal who gladly took us in. They were the most hospitable people I've ever met and it was a great experience staying with them for 4 days. I'm hoping to have more positive experiences like that.
