About Me

Couchsurfing is pretty much the coolest website ever! I have loved traveling the world meeting new people as both a host and being hosted by other people! Its such a great way to learn local culture and as well teach others.

I am currently traveling around China for the next month! My buddies run a music festival called Storm and will be in Shanghai until Sep 23rd helping with the event, from there I will head to Zhengzhou to go to a Kung Fu School for 1 month and then head up to Beijing for a few days before I fly home ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have surfed, hosted, been to cs parties, dinners, you name it, I love the idea, and meeting people from all corners

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed with some amazing hosts in Sydney last year! It was a hard place to cs as the backpacker scene is so large. I was lucky enough to find people to take me in and help me out!

hosted (7/22/2012) my first group of surfers and had an amazing time! i could not have asked for a better group to have had my first experience with! My cousin Alex traveled Asia this summer couch surfing and came back with nothing but success stories about how great this website is! I plan on doing quite a bit of traveling in the near future and thought this would be a great way to start meeting people for my upcoming travels!

Interests

I played professional golf when I was younger, became a house music dj while in College and somehow have ended up a JournALIST / Chef from Traveling lol. You never know what life is going to throw at you , you can only prepare for the change you want live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I read quite a bit... Currently I am reading MIND MAGIC by Betty Shine... one of the best books I have ever read!

Also read Kundalini yoga like it is my bible ;-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Trusted myself.... I have been traveling for close to 7 years now... and with that a lot of sacrafices have been made. I love seeing the world and experiencing new cultures, and there I travel the world the more I want to see. But thats hard when life keeps trying to pull you in and domesticate you. Get a real job, get a car, get a girlfriend lol... things that will all come with time, but hard when you are bust jet setting around the world ;-)

Teach, Learn, Share
