Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends have great reports about couch surfing, and I love to meet locals when I travel.

Interests

I love art, music, literature. And I love curious and passionate people. I want to refresh my language skills as I was once on a conversational level with Japanese and French. My Spanish is ok. I need to find Tagalog lessons.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love it all, surprisingly. I love country music, baroque, sad love songs, house, funk, r&b, soul, folk, piano

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I had the opportunity to experience onsen (natural hot springs) at a 5 star resort in Japan for 6 months every night after performing my illusion show.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can talk to you about magic, hypnosis, art and writing. Want to learn some easy magic? Have you ever wondered if hypnosis works? How does it work? Just ask me :-)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love listening to other people's stories.
I'm friendly, hilarious, and I'll tell you some stories if you like. If we are lucky, I'll find us a magic or hypnotism show in your area we can attend together. We can also chat about culture all night. I can perform world-class magic and teach you magic at any level.
