CURRENT MISSION

Due to COVID-19 pandemic, I can accept no guests at this time. I apologize to all of you.

I travel a lot. I used to do it for fun, but lately I find that I also need to travel a lot for work. I am a former exchange student, so I realize that if you want to really get a sense of the place you are visiting, you need to hang out with the locals..

ABOUT ME

I am generally an easy going person, easy to talk to, a nice companion. I like meeting new people. I value my friendships.

PHILOSOPHY

I was an exchange student years ago. If there is one thing I learned, it is respect for other people's lives, their decisions, and their values.. It is not always easy to look interested when you are not, but everyone has their own story to tell. And if you empathize a little, you might actually get a whole new perspective for your own life in interacting with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Lately, I intend to do some traveling to other countries on my own. I'd like to get to know local people to get a better sense of the city I am exploring.

Interests

I am crazy about crime shows. I also like going to pubs after a long, hard day at work. I am a skier and tennis player.

I used to speak Spanish and French as a beginner level, now I can't remember any of it. I would love to practice.
