About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet someone from every country

ABOUT ME

I'm a goofy funny guy. I can be rather deadpan at times, but overall I just want to meet new people and experience new cultures!

PHILOSOPHY

Strong believer in karma.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new, but I presume I might need a couch to crash on in the future! I do have a couch at my place in Abu Dhabi, but beware, it's small!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None (yet!)

Interests

I'm a marine biologist in the UAE, and love to talk ecology. I spend my off-time playing sports (basketball, squash, volleyball, etc) and writing.

Music, Movies, and Books

I watch, listen, and read just about everything thrown my way. Give me some recommendations.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once upon a time, midsummer, I climbed a mountain named Taranaki in New Zealand, and a freak snowstorm blew through. My friends and I were ill-prepared, tee-shirts and wine bottles, and barely made it in time to the cabin near the summit. After two days the storm stopped, and, after climbing to the summit, I ran down the mountain faster than Usain Bolt. I am now forever awestruck with the power of nature, and respect the unexpected.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach ecology. I'd like to learn more spanish and how to cook. I'll share my couch.
