Hi!

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people which I assume is why most of us are here.

I'll happily ditch my own plans to explore with new friends as long as I have a warm spot to sleep by the end of the night, so feel free to pitch me ideas.

I enjoy sensory experiences and nature: trippy immersive art exhibits, club or partner dancing, a bone-tiring hike that ends at a natural hot spring, native gardens, the heavy silence of a temple in a rain shower, the feeling of cool ocean water seeping through my neoprene suit while I admire our last (slowly dying) coral reefs. One of my goals is to see all the nature that's going to be gone in the next 20 years due to climate change (RIP).

My biggest goal in travel, (and please beware asking me about it because I will not stop talking about it once I start) is most of all, to visit every jiu jitsu gym that is friendly to poor, addicted foreigners like myself. Honestly, I'll compromise with any martial arts gym that accepts foreigners. I live for friendly beat-downs.

I love good food and like to cook, so if you know of a hidden gem restaurant, please invite me and I'll pay for your meal in thanks.

Nerdy stuff: I'm a programmer, but I probably won't talk about it much. I enjoy tech generally and think robots are cool. I read a lot and watch some anime. I used to read and write BTS fanfiction. I'll fix your broken computer probably.

Also I recently got interested in sumo wrestling! I hope to see a live basho when I visit Japan.

As a guest: I take up very little space and clean up after myself. I like soft voices, calm environments, and hot tea in the morning.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet some folks for my next big adventure in Japan and eventually give back as host when I get a space big enough!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Committed to meditating at least 5 minutes daily no matter what. It's life-changing but also sucks sometimes.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Share me a great story! I'm a pretty good audience, I think.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I used to do computer repair. If you have an electronic thing that speaks in beeps and boops and isn't working for some reason, I'd be happy to try to fix it.
