I'm very easy-going. Learning at least a little about everything is a goal of mine. I laugh more often than not, and I love adventure! I am very respectful and pretty quiet most of the time. I do not drink and I do not do any drugs, but if you drink it's not a problem, just please don't get drunk at my house, lol.

I enjoy being outdoors, from just walking around to going rock-climbing, kayaking, exploring abandoned buildings-- you name it. I'm also a former professional e-Sports player, so I might be a little bit of a computer geek ;). I have 16 years of experience in Bujinkan Budo Taijustu (Ninjutsu-- Japanese martial art) and I've trained in Japan many times in an effort to really improve.

Whether hosting or surfing, I have a big emphasis on mutual respect and understanding. It helps to know if you're just looking for a place to crash, or if you actually want to go hang out while you're here. As mentioned earlier, I don't go drink, so don't expect me to go out drinking with you or showing you bars-- it's nothing personal, I just don't do it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Probably the majority of people use couchsurfing primarily as a way to save money. I'm okay with that, just if that is the case for you, please make an effort to be gracious in that I do go out of my way to make any surfers comfortable, but don't expect a 5-star hotel, haha. If you're just wanting to meet new people and hang out, I'm also fine with that!

When I'm surfing, I'm pretty independent so I'm not looking for a tour-guide, though I would never turn down the offer. I like forming relationships with people, so being able to stay with someone rather than just in a hotel room is much more enjoyable (and saves money!)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

With the help of Tokyo couchsurfing hosts, I was able to train with Soke Masaaki Hatsumi, grandmaster of the Bujinkan Dojo (武神館) in Ninjutsu (忍術) on three separate trips, roughly a month each time.

教，学，和分享

My friends tell me I have a gift for having open eyes and a strong understanding of the world. Whatever the topic, I'll usually have some insight, or be very eager to learn when I don't. I obviously can teach Ninjutsu.

I am very understanding, friendly, and open to various viewpoints, so conversations are great. I already have strong beliefs and opinions, and reasons for all of them, so feel free to ask about anything!
