Open-minded and open-hearted; I love learning about people and ideas. I see the world as offering two paths of value: discovery and creation; I try to travel them both in parallel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and to meet people, and would rather spend my time with new friends and my money creating experiences together.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam for 30 exalted minutes fin to hip with a whale shark in Donsol, Philippines. Eye to eye with a thresher shark in Malapascua.

Living 10+ years in China.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a little guitar. I cook decently. Take tons of photos, and travel with my film cameras. Always up for a chat about philosophy, science, politics or none of the above and just staring into the fire.

What I Can Share with Hosts
