About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To eat all the culinary wonders of the world, no matter how alive it is!

ABOUT ME

I am a tinkerer, and I used to take things apart, but often, is unable to put them back together again. I guess my entire life have been about getting over that flaw. The world I yearn to travel and see, and the unusual cusine I yearn to taste! Thank goodness that I a M.D., so I can cure my own problems if the food doesn't agree with me!

NOTE: I actually live in the suburbs of portland, a place called
Wilsonville, which is approximately 20 minutes away from Portland by car, or 1hr and 30 minutes by public transportation. Also, I will likely to be only available fully on the weekends, Otherwise, I can probably hang out after 5pm on weekdays and you will probably have to leave at 9:30 am on weekdays.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host, and I travel.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Often I find myself hosting Europeans, often outside of couchsurfering, b/c they are the ones who have the resources to travel. I particularly enjoy German friends who I meet, b/c they are able to provide language support in difficult situations, and are particularly worldly.

Interests

I love cooking!
I am a Tinker, who loves to build things.
I am developing an interest for FPV RC flying.
I am a movie maker and visual artist. and a recently new Youtuber!!!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Costa Rica, Colombia, Panama, and Dominican Republic alone without able to speak a word of Spanish. And somehow managed to survive and live to tell about it. I met alot of Germans there.

I broke my front tooth in German, and despite not been an EU citizen, and have to pay full price to the dentist there, the cost was substantially lower than the states.

Teach, Learn, Share

Its about the exchange of stories and ideas.
