Moved back to San Diego from Washington DC. Prefer hosting foreign travelers.

ABOUT ME
From San Diego, lived in Hawaii 5 years. I work in science mostly in genomics and pharmacology but love design. Love to travel.
I'm good at conversation but bad at mindless chatter, I travel alone most of the time and enjoy going out and eating and being in nature. I'm a fairly well rounded, active gay guy from the states.

PHILOSOPHY
Hmmm, thats a tough one to sum up. Be tolerant, be accepting, be open, and embrace other cultures. If you're going to visit or live in a country that you weren't born in, you should embrace everything that that culture has to offer otherwise, stay home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love nature, meeting people, exploring new places, tea, drinks, and food. I like hanging out and chatting, walks through nature and scenery, or going out for clubbing. If you make a request, mention that my favorite cartoon is Adventure Time so that I know you've read my profile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am fairly new, but extremely considerate. I have open travel plans which mean that I don't usually know where I'm going until shortly before I get there.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in the same biotech company straight out of college for 8 years. i took vacations here and there, but it was never enough. In 2008 i decided to quit my job and travel for as long as i could. I went from US>Japan>Thailand>Taiwan>England>Spain>France>Italy>Austria>Germany and then i'm going back home.
Now doing it again after leaving Hawaii, mostly northern and Eastern Europe.
