About Me

CURRENT MISSION

melt plastic cups with my chi

ABOUT ME

I'm calm, quiet and pragmatic. I like science and spirituality. I like hanging out in groups, but prefer interacting one on one.

I love nature, mountains, forests and rivers, but find a similar kind of beauty in the mess of big cities. I absolutely love the ocean. I like twisting cobbled alleys, and I wish there was less asphalt in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others the way you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

surfing, meeting, and hopefully hosting once I have a suitable place!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have met some awesome people via couchsurfing events, and was hosted a few times which were short but sweet.

Interests

I like cooking almost as much as I like eating. If it doesn't get away from me, I'll eat it, though lately my prey has mostly been vegetables and they don't run very fast.

I read a lot, usually fiction. I like dancing. I like sports, and I love doing/talking about martial arts.

I like meeting new people from new cultures, and hearing about countries I've never visited.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once made (and subsequently wore) a loin-cloth out of tree-bark while staying with a Mentawai tribe in Indonesia.

I watched my Kung Fu teacher put the metal point of a spear onto his throat and then bend the bamboo shaft.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some self-defense tactics, both physical and mental aspects. Good for confidence and, well, self defense.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Austria, Cambodia, China, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Netherlands, Slovenia, Switzerland, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Canada, Germany, Viet Nam
