I like working hard and playing hard.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy learning from locals, natives or expats, to get a glimpse into their lives.

As far as my experience on CouchSurfing goes, I had a few people host me during a 10 day trip to Japan. It helped make my experience there unforgettable. I'm very grateful for my generous, entertaining, and hospitable hosts.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
