A mix of creative, sporty, and intellectual. Generally laid back.

In the past I've been an adventure tours guide, deckhand, expat small business owner, server, cook, research assistant, writer, golf/yoga and ESL instructor. A few other things too.

I'm basically a genuinely friendly, free spirited and trustworthy guy who likes meeting new people and being a budget traveller, and feel like this is a great way to do both!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted and surfed spontaneously over the years, but at this point I think it would be good to build up my 'couch cred' on here!
