Yo! 😃 I'm Stephen and I'm from the US. I worked for 4-5 years as a database developer/business analyst and then I left my job in Feb 2017...booked a one-way ticket to Japan because I enjoy exploring new cultures so why not!

I've been hopping around Asia since then and splitting my time between travels and volunteer work. For the most part Ive been working at hostels but also helped out in other projects. All about spreading good vibes and having a good time. I've got a personal blog where I'm documenting things throughout my travels. Nothing pro, just for memory’s sake.

I’d love to couchsurf more while traveling if possible; met some good folks when I tried it for the first time in Taiwan. Gotta be honest though I’m not on here that often because CS takes a ton of coordinating and I spend more time on workaway looking for volunteer work 🙃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet others around the world and get a local's perspective on their culture, people, food, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Skydived for my 18th birthday! I wanna go again some day.

Teach, Learn, Share

-Sharing my experiences back in the US as well as my time abroad in various countries. Funny stories for sure!
-I'm a bit of a GoPro fanatic and can teach you how to edit videos and pictures into a short film. Not a pro or anything but I could show some of my clips and give tips on editing if you want.

Here's a link below on my FB to one of the videos I made during a short trip to South Korea in Sep 2016
