I love to play drums, learn languages, travel, and educate. Recently quit my job in China, now roaming around Europe; it's a big world, want to see as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know people, how they are, why they are, I want them to know me, I want to see as many places as I can, and I'm fascinated with the idea of opening your home to a stranger for free.

Teach, Learn, Share

Play music, play drums, bang out, learn Chinese, jump out of a plane, stop and smell the roses, literally, just stop walking one day and smell them, open up to people, meet someone's eyes, try to understand what makes you uncomfortable and at least once put yourself someplace you don't want to be.

What I Can Share with Hosts

As much as is available to me and you. I'm naturally introverted, but I've broken that down these past couple years, it's been difficult but so great. My parents raised a compassionate man who loves to share his passion for music, comics, video games, hiking, languages, horticulture, biology, education, it's all good.
