I currently live in an Aikido dojo as uchi-dechi (live-in student). I do work as an architectural designer/energy modeler. I am also an alternative economic enthusiast and enjoy systems like timebanks and makerspaces.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling and meeting new people. It is always fun to spend time with locals and take in the culture of a new place.

I enjoy live music, traveling, hiking, sailing, scuba diving, meditation, and Aikido.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am good with computers and technology in general and can teach people how to do things like sound engineering and video editing. I enjoy cooking and making meals with others. I have taught energy conservation and renewable energy at a community college for several years and can share that knowledge with you and help you apply it to your home. I also teach Aikido and can show you the basic principles of Aikido.
