About Me

(If you are using couchsurfing as a dating app, please don’t contact me, I’m not LGBHDTV, thank you) I’ve been to 42 countries ! I’m a digital nomad working from my laptop but recently quit my job to explore full time, and I Love it! No more 4am meetings ! I will be in this country for a while ! Maybe more if I find a great reason to extend my visa! I’ve been hosted 8 times and each one was such a positive experience and met such kind and hospitable people that ask the most interesting questions beyond just the typical boring surface level questions , my hosts have been asking some deep cuts and I love it ! Let’s skip the small talk and connect !

About Me:
Chill guy, adventurous, spontaneous, love jokes and funny stories, huge music fan, Loves international movies and discovering new types of music to incorporate into my own songs. Love discussions on deeper subjects. Passionate about the environment and conservation. Tell me about your favorite book! Challenge me to a billiards or table tennis match! Obsessed with waterfalls! Love trying new foods. I meditate and practice Zen and mindful stretching. Loves technology, hiking, playing instruments, sports, shenanigans, and tomfoolery.

Give good and receive good 😀
