I'm a traveler with a love for the great outdoors. If you want a "I've got a spot guy, I'm your man. I always find cool things to do, and a misadventure never hurts anybody 😄

I've been living in Gifu, Japan for 2 years and fell in live with the rural lifestyle and culture. I'm happy to give you recommendations on the best cafes, swimming spots, tattoos friendly onsens, and hiking spots.

I have a passion for foraging, music, card games, and doing language exchanges.

I have a passion for people and spent my career feeding, housing, clothing, and providing educational opportunities for those in need. I even broke a world record sock drive!

I hope to make some new friends who share similar passions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Studying anthropology I have always wanted to see cultures personally and absorb knowledge through doing instead of just reading about it.
