About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To brew awesome beer and to travel the world

ABOUT ME

I guess that you could call me an aspiring beer brewer. I started making beer in high school and recently I've gotten much more serious about it upgrading equipment and buying higher quality ingredients. I've been traveling for a while now but have settled down in Krabi, in the south of Thailand and I've just got my hands on some malt and hops so for the next few months there will be fresh homebrews on tap! Come and enjoy one with me!

PHILOSOPHY

I don't align with any type of organized religion, I think that we are all good and beautiful people inside but those of us that are cruel and mean and lash out do so because they cannot see the inner beauty that they have inside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

up to recently I have only surfed but since this past September I have hosted my first official CSer and it was great, I had a badly sprained ankle so I couldn't be the best of hosts but we had fun nonetheless. I live in Ao Nang Krabi in the south of Thailand, my place is always open to you so if you need a place to crash give me a day or 2 heads up and you've got a home to stay in.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Amazing! Every time I have a blast and cant think of how lucky we are to have something like this at such quick disposal.

Interests

Beer brewing, scuba and free diving, hiking, camping, running, relaxing, reading, cooking, and playing music. Those are my interests but I'm never opposed to anything as long as its fun
