I'm an Asian Jewish Canadian and am a science educator and outreach professional. In general, I'm an easy-going guy once I get comfortable with you, and I have a pretty random sense of humor. I love talking to people and engaging them in off-the-wall conversations, which is why I live at an awesome co-op here in town with other fun socially-conscious weirdos. You'll find me spending at least an hour every day outdoors either biking around town or finding a new place to explore or hike.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

First, the cliches: I love traveling and meeting new people.

More specifically, I'm relocating to California and need a place to stay while I look for a permanent apartment.
