CURRENT MISSION

Making friends with someone who can't speak English

ABOUT ME

Who am I? 6ft 2 dirty blonde male. I'm up for almost anything.

PHILOSOPHY

Be like water, keep moving forward and flow past obstacles. When life gets hard ask for broader shoulders instead of a lighter load. And no matter what happens in the end, things are pretty good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this but I have always wanted to participate. Gotta start sometime

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Looking forward to it

Interests

I love to ride my bike here in the warm months. I've been studying Japanese rigorously for the past three years. I used to be a game programmer and avid player, but lately haven't been spending too much time with a controller in hand. I spent a summer learning how to mix drinks, and have found a liking in beer. I switch interests and hobbies every few years so I wonder what'll be the next one.

• beer
• drinking
• cycling
• software

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: What ever topic I'm learning during that time, Shogun (best read of my life)
Music: Electronica, Hard rock, pop, some rap, and very little country
Movies: All over the place. I don't think you can put me in front of a movie that I would ask you to turn off.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My more recent travels to Japan come to mind first. I'll add more things later.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm looking to learn anything I can. I'm currently focused on the Japanese language, but like I said what ever works.
I'd teach anyone anything that I know a thing about.
