About Me

NOV 2018 - I'm in Hanoi. Sup?

*LAST UPDATED FEB 2016*

I am not very active on couch surfing these days, but I still read my messages every once in a while. I will probably not be able to host you or anything, but I am willing to meet up if my schedule permits it!

My response rate is pretty horrible because in some past cities i've lived.. i've gotten so many copy and paste, impersonal request from people only looking for a free place to crash, i do not bother to respond to these.

Please send me a message if you have a genuine interest in meeting and hanging out with me and not my couch.
------------------------------------------------

I've been travelling around this world, mostly solo, since I was 19. My first big international trip was a 4 week backpacking euro trip, the total cost for that trip was about $2000 USD including airfare and everything. I dropped all of my university classes, quit my shitty job, and just left on a whim. I learnt how to be extremely resourceful and crafty to get the most out of all the new environments I was exploring. Since then, I've been consistently roaming around the world and living in 5 different countries and checking out a lot more.

Currently (FEB 2016) I live in Hollywood Beach, FL and I will be here until the end of 2016. I do a lot of computer work from home. I live about a mile away from hollywood beach boardwalk, and I usually ride my longboard there to go get food and stuff sometimes. If you are staying around the boardwalk area, I could meet you easily as I am very near by.
