CURRENT MISSION

To find couches to sleep on during my world odyssey

ABOUT ME

I am a 32 American male, I live with my wife and baby daughter and dog in Tokyo Japan. I spent almost 3 years traveling and working around the world when I was younger. I have a B.A. majoring in Film Studies at UCSB (California`s beachside party school). I have also studied abroad in Florence, Italy, as well as lived in Australia, New Zealand . I have volunteered in Madagascar in a wonderful village called Maventibao, which you should all go to. I have travled to 76 countries and have quite a bit of travel knowledge having also managed a branch of Flight Centre for 3 years. I like music, sports (especially baseball),food & cooking (I can cook great Italian for any graceous host), I definitly am always up for going out for a drink and I love to dance. I also like movies and have studied film making in the past. I have a Master`s Degree Tourism Administration, yet I work for an Import/Export company in Tokyo.

PHILOSOPHY

This column seems like a place to put ones Senior Quote for their school yearbook. So instead of being cheesy with a sharp quote, I will just say, I live my life trying to be happy and make others happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As I have finished traveling for awhile. I would love to give advice to travelers coming to Tokyo or going on world journey's who need some help. Currently, with the baby, we can't host but I am always willing to meet or give advice.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have now crashed with a lot of real cool people

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Let's have a drink and I can tell you.

Teach, Learn, Share

Well like everyone else, I want to learn as much as I can about the world through travel and all the people I can possibly meet along the way. Everyone is individual and brings something to the table. Personally, I have traveled a lot and had a lot of experiences in my life, so I have a lot to share with anyone.
