After 10 years of living all around the world and the USA, I've finally moved back to home sweet home, San Francisco!

Raised by activists and musicians, I strive to make the world a better place. I'm a "people person" who loves connecting with a diverse range of folks. I have multi-faceted interests: I'm an activist, writer, international businessman, and more...

I also enjoy cooking, clubbing (techno, electro, Berghain, disco), sports, bicycling, and social justice. I'm an openly LGBTQ queer and open-minded guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfers share my values for trust, generosity, respect, contribution, and sharing. I love exchanging travel stories and meeting new people.

Update May 2022: I can't really host right now but if you're queer, community-oriented, and need a place to crash, write me and we can try to figure something out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've lived in 6 countries! I studied in Japan for undergrad. Completed my graduate school in Barcelona & London. Worked in Bangalore and Berlin. And my kid and co-parent live in the land of Kiwis.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - storytelling

Learn - the life stories of others

Share - stories and cooking (I cook to share my cultural heritage as an ethnically Filipino/Japanese US American who has lived around the world)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Dinner, adventures, and new friendship =) And I can give you a bike tour of my city
