I’m a quiet guy. I’m an introvert. I usually do things alone. But I’m also the guy that loves Karaoke and will hog the mic if you let him. I dance, I laugh, I tell stories, I gaze at stars. I’m a dreamer, a failed poet, and I live for love. I love tattoos and live concerts or open mic at bar. Plays are awesome. Book stores and libraries are my special places.

I’m a traveler, a nomad. Can’t say I have a home. I don’t mind company and socializing with people, I just wouldn’t be super in your face about it. I don’t mind partying , just don’t do it all the time, I enjoy smaller groups with discussions verses large groups and a ton of noises.

I quit my job of 5 years to pursue my passion, in what, I’m not sure yet, but I’m getting closer. In the meantime I’ve spent time traveling and training. I spent three months traveling Taiwan and 6 months training in China. Now that I’m back in the states I want to make meaningful memories and focus on my achieving my goals.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was doing workaway in Taiwan I ran into a lot of great people from around the world. I worked with them got to know them, hiked the mountains with them, and shared stories. These people I am still in contact with, they have made such a meaningful impacted in my life that even in the states I know I can continue that experience. I’ve never tired CS before but I think it’s going to be enlightening.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite author is Brandon Sanderson, Michael J Sullivan, Pierce Brown, and many other fantasy writers. Napoleon Hill, Robert Greene, Paulo Coelho and Don Miguel Ruiz changed my life.

I like all kinds of music, I’ve tried picking up a guitar too many times but I’m still determined to learn.

Haven’t really watched movies as of late. But I do not like horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied at a Shaolin Kung Fu school on a farm in Siping China with a 3x Sanda Champion Shaolin master. Hardest thing I ever endured . I thought I was in shape but 6 months really broke me.

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn how to grow vegetables and herbs. Sustainable healthy lifestyle is my goal. I also want to travel to Italy to learn fine woodcrafting this year, I found a master artisan and want to save now to afford to go to his school.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have many stories of my travels. I’m a deep thinker, and curious by nature. I want to understand where people are coming from and their perspective on life. I offer good conversation and willingness to listen and learn.
