I'm a laid back, easy-going guy who wants to experience as much of this world before his time is over. This world has too much to offer to just sit at home and play video games all day (though I enjoy that as well...I have a love-hate relationship with video games)

I enjoy meeting open-minded and genuinely awesome people, visiting new places, learning about other cultures, expanding my knowledge, mastering new hobbies, discovering new music (and rocking out to music), and FOOD!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet awesome people! To experience a city/country/culture from a local's perspective and to learn about the things the guidebooks (wait...websites...nobody reads books anymore!) don't tell you about.

I also think the concept of this website is amazing...helping to connect people from across the globe that would not have even been imaginable even 20 years ago, let alone centuries ago! What amazing times we live in.

Books - sci-fi

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Helped stop a girl from jumping off a bridge

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy learning about different cultures and how different living in other countries is compared to the US.

I also like learning about people's lives and the path they have taken to get to where they are now.

I can teach about US culture, Taiwanese/Chinese culture to a degree, rave culture, some history, and certain -isms.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My personality, knowledge, positivity, kindness, and willingness to help with household chores. I can cook fried rice (so cliche, right?), ramen, baked chicken, and eggs. Will also gladly buy you dinner and a drink(s) =)
