CURRENT MISSION

Live my life, one day at a time...

ABOUT ME

First of all, I'm independent enough to navigate my way around, get lost, and discover local gems with or without purpose. Mostly extrovert, good-natured and merely curious traveler who loves to tramp around, take photos, and smell the roses. I'm a Californian-born guy who has previously lived in Europe and Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Let's keep life a mystery so we can keep exploring. Yes brood over a nice, cold mug of beer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to meet people. I am Deaf and primarily use American Sign Language (ASL). I am also fluent in foreign sign languages as well. People who stayed with me shall discover that there's a whole lot more to life although I embrace my own silent world. Of course, writing is an alternative method of communication! Worry thee not, you shall find it much easier to communicate with me rather than a non-english speaking foreigner unless you knew sign language :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm totally new to this.. hopefully this would be a positive experience. Now in New Zealand (Aotearoa)with a few couch-hosters, been genuinely warm so far. Not to mention, NZ REALLY is the Middle Earth :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would finally answer this once I see the MILFORD SOUND!

One of the most lunatic things I have done is get lost in the favelas (slums) of Rio de Janeiro and get out alive.

A year stint in Tokyo, Japan full of neon lights which makes Las Vegas a faint memory.

Sweating the heck of my life out inside a Finnish sauna with immortally tough Finns in Helsinki.

Teach, Learn, Share

I share my unique perspective in life as an indigo child, Generation-Z. Free of judgments and ridicules. I love to cook and I could teach you signs if you want :)
