Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm open to meeting new friends and helping out fellow travelers explore Northern California. The couchsurfers who have hosted me on my travels have been so kind and have made my trips such special experiences that I would like to pay that forward.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had an amazing Summer tour through Taiwan, China, the Philippines, Myanmar, and Thailand. On the hosting side, I've had the good fortune to show some amazing people around the Bay area in California.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I would love to learn how to cook any regional dishes of the places I visit. Especially family recipes!

I'm always looking to train and learn from other martial artists and I'm more than happy to share/teach. My current focus is Muay Thai, Serrada Escrima, and Chen Tai Chi but I am open to and have experience in other styles.

I also want to improve my Mandarin/Spanish to the mid intermediate level or my Tagalog/Burmese/Japanese to the mid beginner level.
