CURRENT MISSION

Turning my backpack into a teleportation device.

ABOUT ME

I am becoming who I have always wanted to be when I grow up. This involves a serious commitment to pursuing enlightenment through long distance bus meditation, conquering mountains, both physical and metaphorical, reading books, and staying true to a bold claim that I will eat any food the world has to offer, so long as it is served with alcohol. That being said, while I enjoy going out, I'm overall a pretty quiet, calm and peaceful person and I spend most of my time reading or drawing.

PHILOSOPHY

Good year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate by hosting surfers as often as possible. I'm always up for coffee or a drink, or traveling around. Unfortunately I don't know where I am living right now, so I am unable to host.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Better than a back flip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The adoptions of my two littlest sisters have been two of the most amazing experiences of my life. Before this experience I had no idea that it was possible to unconditionally love someone that I had never met, and then love them even more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am quick to scout out the best (and most affordable) food anywhere I live. I also spend a lot of time cooking with friends, so I'd love to show you my favorite restaurants if you're visiting my city, or collaborate on some sort of culinary masterpiece anywhere in the world.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Spain, Thailand, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
