About Me

By day I am a consultant for a technology firm in the business analysis space. In the evening, I am an amateur entrepreneur hoping I don't make too many poor choices. All of this work is to achieve financial freedom in the pursuit of stories. Something lacking in the day to day are stories of great people. Unfortunately, the news outlets are more focused on over dramaticism and viewer counts completely masking meaningful stories of ordinary but great folk.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and hangout with locals rather than forcing the conversation at a restaurant/bar and relying on chance.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I enjoy it all, but I have a soft spot for 90's era RnB as well as the Jazz/Soul era of flapper dress clad women expressing their emotions through voice paired with a piano (My Funny Valentine). Usually, I just listen to a mix of Rock, EDM, and classical however.

Movies - Anything with fast cars, guns, explosions, martial arts, and lets not forget. Babes. Storylines are nice too.

Books - Dante's Inferno

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Youngest of three in an Asian family. I am the only one to have suffered through a standard university for a Bachelor's degree. You can imagine the strain!

Actually, the craziest thing was meeting up in Vegas with online friends for a few days. Followed by a trip with the same crew to Chile where one of them lives.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - Fitness, Finance, Life Coach you up?
Learn - All things about regions culture.
Share - Cooking

What I Can Share with Hosts

An above average conversation? Share travel stories?
I don't mind cooking, or providing a few personal training sessions if that works as well.
Additionally, if you'd like something from the states, I can most definitely smuggle it over. Probably. Just give me a heads up.

Argentina, Chile, Italy, Spain
