Hello! I'm Owen. I got rid of most of my stuff, and decided to see Asia. I traveled around and lived in Da Nang, Vietnam until very recently! I'm on my way home for the first time in about 16 months!

I've worked for two and half years after college at non-profit organizations, been to a few different parts of the world, made a life in Vietnam work, and had a lot of fun along the way.

I love music, seeing different cultures, riding motorbikes and pedal bikes too, food, seeing the outdoors, and sharing beers with friends. Let's be friends and hang out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing because I want to change the way I travel! Staying at hostels isn't really something I like - I would prefer to spend time doing things the way the locals do them rather than doing the predictable tourist things.
I'm along for the ride - what do YOU want to do today?
