I haven't used Couchsurfing in a few years, but I remember it being some great experiences so I'm starting to accept guests again!

I enjoy movies, photography, various music, and all sorts of other stuff. There are a multitude of projects that I'm always working on.

I have decided that life is all about having amazing experiences, and in traveling I hope to achieve that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had many amazing couch surfing experiences. Really great project. I've met so many incredible people in my travels with such great hospitality. I had amazing experiences with Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Nepal, Pittsburgh, Texas, and Iceland.
Note: Couchsurfing is many things, but it is not a hotel service, nor a dating service, nor just finding a place to sleep for free. It is a sharing of cultures and making new friends.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled around Asia for 2 years and did plenty of amazing things. One example would be my motorcycle trip from north to south Vietnam. Another would be my 2 week trek around the Himalayas. Another would be my incredibly cold experience at the Harbin Ice Festival. There's so many things to put in this space...

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot of technical knowledge and can help with most things related to computers/software. I also have tons of travel experience and always willing to share that knowledge!
