CURRENT MISSION

Been a part of the CS community for over a decade. Love to meet new people, both as a host and a surfer. While I cannot host these days due to work, still enjoy going to meetups and meeting old friends through this site.

ABOUT ME

Currently living in Bangladesh, but try and travel to a new country as often as possibe. Feel free to ask me anything. 'Johnny Tsunami' is one of my favorite movies and I enjoy bowling and corn mazes.

PHILOSOPHY

"Go big or go home." - Urchin's Motto, Johnny "Tsunami" Kapahala

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Started as a surfer on a trip to Canada and got hooked. After that, hosted in my hometown for ~3 years before moving to Korea. Continued to host and surf until recently, but still go to meetups whenever possible. One of my favorites was a Ping Pong tournament in Osaka.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have slept on many people's sofas, and many more have slept on mine.....so I guess I am a beast in that regard.

Interests

Music, especially playing musical instruments....also, doing anything...I am always down to clown.

• movies
• music
• violin
• boxing
• bowling
• emergency services

Music, Movies, and Books

All the Harry Potter movies...and Jumanji....and Johnny Tsunami. Seriously, that move is capital. I don't read since movies will be made about the books, but I did read Holes all the way through. There was a movie made about it a year later, though, so it was not worth reading. If Johnny Tsunami was a book, I would read it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Norris and living to tell the tale. If you do not trust me, I have pictures as proof. Also, I play bagpipes for Bill Murry whenever he needs it. Sadly, he does not need it often. Finally, I almost pulled a prank where I replace the sugar in a jar with salt. I did not do it, but I almost did. It would have been weak.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my violin and bagpipe skills. I can also share my talents in living the dream and gelling. Also, I once built an IKEA sofa all by myself, so I can share that talent as long as it is the Solsta Sofa Bed. In fact, that is where all couchsurfers get to crash....a hand made IKEA Solsta sofa-bed. It's clutch.
