Born in Costa Rica. Moved to the United States with family at age 5, raised in N. Minnesota. Join the Marine Corps at age 20, stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA winter of '06. Met an amazing woman and had three children with her whom I adore with all my heart. After nearly 8yrs we are now separated and I am starting everything over again. On my own and looking for a safe place to rest my head while on my way to the next Chapter in my life. Trying to work my way North up to Washington state, as well.
I will be looking for couches along the way. I will be traveling via train up PCH.
You can find me on Instagram @Nesshin. I also have a VERY old deviantart account(have not been there in years) if you want to see some of my art. My username there is also Nesshin.
I will be traveling alone with minimal bags and a bicycle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

***UPDATED*** Now that I am in the Beautiful PNW, I am looking to see what it all has to offer.
I Love exploring new places and meeting new individuals. I have been here less than two months and have already started to really enjoy things here. I look forward to
Continuing this amazing journey with some great company!
I am still looking for a place to settle down.

I have recently run into a rough patch of my life and am going to start trying to get myself back on my feet and better than ever. I want to use this less than pleasant experience and turn it into a real growing stage of my life. I was a full time stay at home father of three beautiful souls who really changed my entire perspective on the reality that surrounds us all.
If you're busy while hosting me that is fine, I spend most my day looking for interesting places to Photograph and keeping busy with anything I can get myself into. I do enjoy going out and seeing the Beautiful things in SoCal with good company or by myself too, so if you want to show me around that'd be great! I have been in OC for almost 8 yrs now, but since I have been taking care of three Beautiful children I have not gotten the chance to really sight see or experience all the attractions/adventures one can find here. I am an open minded individual and have an open book type of personality.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite author has to be a tie between James Clavell and Lewis Carrol. Though Victor Hugo has always been a big deal with me. I am a huge fan of movies and am always willing to watch something new. My favorite band is Gorillaz but I am down to listen to just about anything.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teach others about relaxation and about seeing their world through a new perspective. If I can learn something new I jump at the opportunity. I'm willing to share anything I have with anyone who cares. If you give me a chance I can cook up some great Costa Rican foods, a few
Italian dishes, but mostly white people food. Hehe

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great conversation, peace of mind(I'm accommodating to most any situation.), and willing to listen and learn to anyone willing to teach and share their time and energy.
