I'm a professional in Information Technology living in New York City. I've been here for about 15 yrs and I'm totally in love with NYC. However, I spent most of my life in Honolulu, Hawaii, so deep down inside I'm a beach boy who prefers sand in my hair and sun on my face than a tie around my neck.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm fascinated by other cultures and other perspectives. So far I think I've been quite lucky. I haven't had a single bad experience with my Couchsurfers. In fact, I've made some friendships that I honestly believe will last a lifetime.

Intereses

I'm pretty adventurous and love traveling to exotic locales.
I'm also an adventurous eater. I usually eat a lot and often. I tend to order spicy meals extra spicy. And sushi and raw bars make my belly smile. :) I love all kinds of food, whether it's traditional or cutting-edge, from a food stand on the street to a Michelin-starred restaurant.
I love theater and cinema and love lively conversations about either.
