About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet artists, makers and people with a passion for life while traveling the world!

ABOUT ME

I've always had an adventurous spirit growing up, now that I'm an adult I try to experience everything that's available to me. Although I'm a computer guy during the day, I've also spent many years training in the circus arts and performing is my greatest passion.

I am a very open person and although I can be quiet at times, I'm almost always in a good mood and willing to trade stories, cook and learn new things.

PHILOSOPHY

The human body was built to move, so why stand still?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

--Hosting--
I love to host people who have interesting stories and culture to share with me. I especially enjoy cooking for people and becoming friends with everyone I host.

--Surfing--
I like to surf with people who can give me good advice on the city I'm staying in. I prefer to stay with other circus performers, programmers or people with similar interests so that we can share stories. I also like to see a new culture through the eyes of my host and get a better understanding of the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have surfed couches on the West Coast of the United States, as well as couches in Italy and China. All of my hosts have been great especially Rae from Bra, Italy who hosted me for over two weeks and took me to food parties. I can't wait to meet more people and spend more time with my hosts.

Interests

Circus, Acrobatics, Gymnastics, Martial Arts, Food and Cooking, Making (DIY), Electronics! I like sports and playing games as well. I feel as though I'm a kid who will never grow up.

Music, Movies, and Books

Ip Man, Fearless, Legend of the Fist, Forgotten Kingdom, Legend of Drunken Master, Rush Hour Series,.... Yeah I'm a martial arts nerd. I also like comedy movies.

I also like reading books with interesting philosophy and insight. The music I listen to is usually a mix of rap, hip-hop, alternative rock and stuff that inspires my creativity with acrobatics and film production.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I attended a Circus School in Torino, Italy.
I headlined the first US Contemporary Circus Festival with the Acrobatic Conundrum in Chicago, IL, USA.
