I am an easy going guy who enjoys the the simple things in life and living in the moment. Cooking, walking, enjoying life, listening to nice music and good times with new friends. I'm a hippy at heart.

I have lived in Vietnam for several years. New Zealand for three years and Japan for four years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have travelled to many countries and have had the fortune of meeting many wonderful, friendly, kind people. I want to pass it forward to other people and I want to share this experience with others.
