ABOUT ME

I follow my instincts on the best flavors and follow my palette around the world. I'm a school teacher by day and a chef by night. I've mixed my interests in the sciences with a passion for great food. Check out: Origin_Restaurant You can also follow our adventure at our blog: Origin_Blogger

I hope to inspire a healthy epidemic to great food and to bring people together around great eats.

PHILOSOPHY

The sky is the limit!

"What goes around comes around" -- My take on couch surfing is that I always treat others how I wish to be treated. I graciously receive with the intent to give back.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My wife and I did a World Trip in 2012 for 6 months to test the waters of marriage and have fallen in love with traveling ever since. It has broadened our perspective of a wold "community" and we continue to build friendships abroad whenever possible.

What excites us the most about traveling is learning about culture and exchange, allowing us to give back in so many more ways than we could imagine. The CouchSurfing community has enriched our lives and allowed us to make such great friends around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I believe that "home" is where the heart is and that when traveling the best moments are those in the company of others. I really enjoy being on the road and meeting new people. My most memorable experiences are with all the great friends I've made around the world in unexpected places showing just how there is to learn and share about the World around us. There's so many wonderful surprises!

Interests

Hobbies: biking, running, climbing, and going outdoors!

I love to cook and it's probably my favorite pass time. There is something exotic about the language of food and I really enjoy sharing it with others.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy elements that allow me to puzzle the complexities of Life and which challenge me to think about my perspective, people, and the constants of change around us. Genres for each are broad as I like to contemplate a little of everything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Parachuted from a mountain top and glided across the ocean.

Teach, Learn, Share

As an educator, every moment in life is a teachable moment: I enjoy being the teacher and the student at all occasions. There is always something new to learn and I think that's what excites me the most.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A culinary story of food, adventure, and mystery in each bite... I bring the kitchen wherever I go and I share it with whomever is willing to dine and have a fine time.
