Roaming Spartan 🏃‍♂️ | Aspiring Digital Nomad 🛫

Transitioning from Spartan travels to a nomadic lifestyle, I love sharing stories about my passion for sports, connecting with people, learning from their experiences, and creating meaningful moments along the way. Let’s inspire each other and make every encounter unforgettable!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

At first glance, people often find me a bit intimidating and quiet, but I’m just taking it all in. I love listening and observing, and once I get comfortable, I open up and become more social. I use Couchsurfing to practice my English, learn new languages, and gain insights from the incredible experiences and cultures of others.

Interests

I’ve been hooked on competitive obstacle course racing (OCR) since 2022, and in 2023, I leveled up by hiring a coach to improve my running. My goal is to complete a Spartan Race in every country I visit—what I call my “racecation.” So far, I’ve raced in 🇵🇭 🇲🇾 🇻🇳 🇹🇼 🇹🇭 🇯🇵 🇮🇹 🇩🇪🇰🇷🇨🇳, with plenty more to come!

Although my training schedule can be intense (with only Mondays for rest), I love trying new things, especially outdoor adventures. From hiking to scuba diving, I’m always on the move.

Fun Facts

Karaoke Enthusiast: I’m the life of the party when there’s a mic in hand! 🎤

Cheering Squad Coach: I’m an alumnus of my college’s cheering squad and now help coach their Pep squad, focusing on conditioning and flexibility training.

Health Nut: I’m passionate about exploring healthy nutrition options and love discovering new foods that fuel my performance.

Photography Lover: While I’m no expert photographer, I have a soft spot for vintage photos and cameras. I’m also passionate about cinematic short films—those beautifully crafted pieces that capture moments and experiences in a storytelling format, beyond the usual vlog style. I admire the artistry in how people film and present their experiences in unique, visually compelling ways.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I’m all about sing-along tunes and tracks that get you dancing. Whether it's an upbeat track or a classic anthem, I love music that gets everyone involved.

Movies: I’m a big fan of films featuring Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Their performances and the intensity they bring to their roles are captivating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2022, I turned my life around. OCR (obstacle course racing) not only saved me from depression but also taught me resilience and mental toughness. Each day, this sport reminds me how powerful the mind is, and it’s changed my perspective on life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I’ve done volunteer work through Worldpackers, which introduced me to Couchsurfing, and I’ve been hooked ever since. I love sharing my stories, trying new things, and bringing high energy wherever I go.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Funny stories, eagerness to try something new, high energy, positive attitude, cooking our country's traditional food, dishwashing, doing the laundry (I'm a washer-dryer enthusiast lol)
