I joined the Navy after studying Molecular and Cellular Biology in Uni, and I have become a submarine officer out of Hawaii after Navy's training in nuclear power operations and submarine driving.

I was born in Louisiana, and have lived across many states such as North Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, South Carolina, New York, and Connecticut in the US. I also lived in South Korea for a few years, and all of this diverse experiences had made my life quite interesting. I can't wait to continue to mix up and live life.

Besides my career and background, I'm a simple and optimistic guy who is open to and crave for new experiences, see people and society of different culture, and my favorite, taste new cuisine. This attitude has led to love traveling, and I travel every chance I have. I believe traveling has made me better person and it has brought true happiness internally and externally to me in a way that money cannot absolute achieve.

I am a happy person and I want everyone to be happy. I believe happiness is the true virtue, but if such happiness comes with harm of others, I believe this happiness is in conflict resulting in only selfishness. Thus, I'm quite considerate of others and this is why I make an excellent couchsurfer since I'll be considerate of the host or surfer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This world, specifically various regions, uniquely creates each individual, and I want an opportunity to meet those individuals to indirectly experience the world. Couchsurfing provides me that opportunity to meet and interact with the individuals residing in different parts of the world by hosting or surfing.
