I'm a laid back guy, who likes to travel, drink beer, sit in cafes and read books. I have written a coming-of-age novel and I am working on something new. I'm interested in Japanese and American culture. I have a lot of friends and when I'm not watching movies, gaming, studying, reading or writing I use my time with them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to listen to peoples stories when I travel and couchsurfing is a good way to do that. I have travelled a lot alone because I find that way to be more challenging and a better way to meet more new people. But I also love to travel with friends of course.
