CURRENT MISSION

Forever learning more about the world and its people

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to Tokyo to start working in water consulting/engineering projects all over the world. This means I may not be here in Japan constantly, but when I am, I'm excited to find cool hole-in-the-walls within the city and also find good excursions out of the city too!

Always up for meeting up for a good chat with people from anywhere across the globe. Would love to live and learn through your experiences!

PHILOSOPHY

hmmm...human connections and being true to what your heart tells you

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

at times, hosting (though not currently), at times traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hung out with many surfers through friends when I lived in Montreal and I hosted some at my first place in Sacramento. Surfed in a couple places within the US, but huh, maybe not yet abroad. That's the plan in the future!
