About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Reconcile the past, present and future

ABOUT ME

Hi guys, my name is Chris and I am a student at UC Berkeley. I am a very outgoing, fun-loving guy who enjoys adventure and trying new things in general. Overall, I get along with almost everybody so don't hesitate to send me a message :)

PHILOSOPHY

As there is no real black and white in the world, I firmly believe in keeping an open mind and positive attitude toward whatever and whomever I encounter :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As one who loves traveling myself, I am very well aware of the difficulties one encounters when in a foreign country and would like to provide whatever assistance travelers to the San Francisco Bay Area need :) I look forward to meeting some awesome people!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only stayed with friends when traveling but last year when I was in Nara, Japan, my friend's mother made the best sukiyaki I have ever eaten to this day, totally changing my perception of home-style Japanese cooking!
