What's up! My name is Thomas and let me tell you about myself. I'm a half-Japanese, half-Chinese, first-generation American. I'm very out going and love meeting and connecting with new people. I have a passion for both academics and physical fitness. I'm a natural leader and educator. If I could choose anything to commit my life to, it would be to travel the world, experience life, and bring along my knowledge and skills to help and educate others to make this world a better place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in exploring my horizons and getting to meet all sorts of new and interesting people. I just so happen need a place to stay for a night, so what better way to meet and get to know people than by spending a night together?

Teach, Learn, Share

If hosts need me for help with anything (within reason), I'd be more than happy to do so as gratitude for letting me stay over.
And I can share pretty interesting conversations and stories as well.
