Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've hosted a lot in Seoul, South Korea, as well as Lima, Peru. I've also met lots of friends when I was hosted traveling around Asia, Europe, North America, and South America.

Couchsurfing has opened the doors of many homes of the most wonderful people. I've experienced things and met people I never would have experienced or met without CS.

I'm both happy and proud to be a part of what is often such a great concept and world.

Interests

Traveling, music, languages, running, swimming, yoga.
Oh, I love video games as well, and love playing my PS5 from time to time to wind down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Playing music, especially with others, is an amazing feeling.

Sincere friendship.

Teach, Learn, Share

It seems I'm pretty good with languages, so at the moment I can definitely help out with English or Spanish, and a bit of French. I can also teach some basic Mandarin Chinese.

I can also teach music (guitar, drums, piano), and a few other things I'm sure.

I want to continue learning more languages and about other cultures. I love learning languages. We all have something to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Help with languages or music learning. :) I can try to cook some simple, vegetarian meals, if that's ok.

How to travel cheaply.
