CURRENT MISSION

I just gave away my massive couch and now have a tiny sofa. Some people can sleep wonderfully on it some people can't. I'm 300 pounds so obviously I cant. But I'm not the issue here.

*****I only host people who are willing to host people or who have hosted people.

Also people who have knowledge of building websites, podcasting, podcasts, great YouTube videos, video editing , teaching online, The Netherlands, and North Korea, Scientology, online marketing interest me greatly.

Hey guys, I'm an American who has been overseas since 2007 and have been to 60 countries. I used to live in San Diego, San Francisco, and Vietnam. Now, I am a full time Hand Model in Taipei, Taiwan.

I have a big super super friendly dog named Wesley who is the landlord of the house. I'm a highly functioning alcoholic and sometimes I'll leave the house partying for days and sometimes I won't drink for weeks. It just depends when you catch me. But I'm fine with people who don't drink. That just means more alcohol for me. Oh and I'm also a chain-smoker.

I spend about 15 hours a week on a bicycle, 5 hours a week break dancing,and an hour a week actually breaking things. I'm a big person. Big people break things. Oh and I spend about 50 hours a week working. Being a hand model is demanding

I used to manage hostels in San Diego and San Francisco.

If you are interested in staying here you should contribute something. I've been hosting for over 15 years and it seems like more and more people who shouldn't leave their hotel room are choosing to do couchsurfing but don't write references, expect the host to pay for everything, and don't offer to host themselves.

PHILOSOPHY

You break it you bought it. AND...
Don't judge a book by it's cover unless it's a lonely Planet, they have great covers.

Teach, Learn, Share

My life philosophy: Do good to others and the life experience will manifest itself in positive ways.

Learn: I love when my guests show me youtube videos or tell me interesting facts about their travels, home countries, or cultural things I wouldn't already know.

Share: All these links are for Taiwan.
