CURRENT MISSION

I'm working (very slowly) to master Japanese, Chinese and Spanish. Why those three? Well, I kinda picked them at random. Since I'm still young,I'm working on seeing the world and learning about language and culture.

ABOUT ME

Hey all, my name is Grant and I hail from the country of Belize (I'm a dual American-Belizean citizen though). Oh, I also really enjoy traveling. I go on at least one big trip a year, and CS has really helped me with my travels! I always enjoy meeting new people.

I grew up in Belize, went to uni at the University of Virginia and then did law school at Duke. I seem to have a thing going on with Japan at the moment -- I taught English in Miyagi-ken, Japan for two years, did two study abroads (one at Waseda and one near Tenri Dai) and now I'm moving back to Tokyo to work as an associate.

I love learning languages and learning about different cultures, so don't hesitate to drop me a line about either.

PHILOSOPHY

Push yourself everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By traveling, hosting, and talking to lots of surfers. Also, by helping aid the spread of knowledge and culture of Belize.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Been nothing but great times so far. Stayed at a couple places in Tokyo and Beijing, and I have met CSers all over.

Interests

I'm into Anthropology, law, karaoke, jazz, fighting games, movies, music in general, (western) fencing, Crossfit and translating archaic Japanese tomes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crawled through some ancient Mayan refrigerators (basically chilly caves).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can cook some Belizean food, although finding the ingredients is usually pretty tricky.
