CURRENT MISSION

Learn about the whole world by meeting the people in it

ABOUT ME

Once, I built a Rube Goldberg device that used 40 different steps just to turn on a tiny light bulb.

PHILOSOPHY

Around the age of 8, I learned to stop trying to choose between two different types of cereal and just start mixing them.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Bad jokes and doughy pancakes. Travel tips. Improvised anything.

I host when I can, but usually I don't when I can't.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed across China and hosted some really amazing surfers. I've joined couchsurfers on adventures along frozen rivers and shattered temples and the backstreets of Beijing. Also the frontstreets of Dubai. And some middle streets in a few other places.

Reading, music, cycling, travel, languages, deep philosophical discussions, photography, animals! Only friendly ones, though.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Waiting atop Mount Kinabalu for sunrise for over an hour, and being rewarded with a full double rainbow across the summit.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I've studied a whole bunch of economics and at least a few languages. I've collected several random tidbits of knowledge that over the last couple decades, and I like to keep myself at least pretty versed in world news and politics.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Anything! Great stories, curious trinkets, recipes for lentils, secret handshakes.
