About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To experience all that the world has to offer and to help others have such experiences

ABOUT ME

I am socially adventurous, I love traveling and I look forward to meeting people of all backgrounds and beliefs. So far I've had the chance to roam around many parts of Asia, Europe, Australia and North America, and I don't plan to stop my wanderings anytime soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing as a host and as a guest because I love meeting new people (especially foreigners) and making connections either for long or short term. As a guest I am trustworthy & appreciative, and as a host I am committed to showing my guests a good time.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have been surfing and hosting travelers for close to ten years, and personally I find the hosting really rewarding. It's great to have other travelers filling my life with stories and conversation when I'm not on the road.

Music, Movies, and Books

Boards of Canada, Tycho, My Bloody Valentine, Slowdive, Aphex Twin.......yes, I'm the kind of guy who likes to listen to music and daydream : )

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I consider my most amazing experiences to be the ones in which I am truly out amongst the elements--under falling rain or snow, getting blown by fierce winds, or simply in a place where everyone is speaking a language that I don't understand. I have admittedly had a fortunate and easy life so far, but exposing myself to more daunting conditions forces me to be creative and open with others.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can tell stories and share experiences. I love to ask questions and hear people's perspectives. I also love to learn foreign languages and do not mind helping people with their English. I try to be a very patient, accepting person.
