Hi guys! It is good to make everyone acquaintance. A bit about me and my current stage of life. I had just recently stepped out of the business world; really loving it so far! Turn out, a big house does not guarantee happiness. You can pretty much say I left the American dream to follow my own dream.

As a child, I spent most of my times inside libraries and bookstores. But I’m not your typical bookworm. I have been described as 35% entrepreneur, 15% gangster, 20% nerd, 10% partygoer, 19% foodlover with the remaining traits remained not quantifiable =).

I am no longer on F.B or any type of social media frenzy (unless C.S counts as one.) I don't have very many experiences as a guest since my traveling are often quite spontaneous. Most hosts on CS just aren't set up to have surfer within the very last minute notice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am traveling on a more regular basis. Meeting people and shares a meal or 5. I dabble in the kitchen a bit so not opposed to cooking either. Lend me a few pots or pans and I'll rustle something up. I'm pretty happy with my current stage of life; I get to pack my bags pretty often.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a small selection of vinyl and CDs. Secret to making kick-ass food is jazz!

My last watch was Captain Fantastic, I liked it a lot. Just a head up, there is a dong scene in there (some puns intended.)

Reading
Hold Me Tight(talks about human emotions, great self-repairing relationship book,)
Modernist Cuisine (amazing read,)
One Man's Wilderness
and lastly Small Fry ( a glimpse of Steve Jobs’s life through the eyes of his “illegitimate” daughter.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Work in progress...

Teach, Learn, Share

Trying to learn Japanese.
I can probably teach you basic English, or Vietnamese in return.
If you are seeking business advice, I would probably be somewhat useful.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a decent listener and a respectable dishwasher. Otherwise, good food, good fun, and some adult beverages.
