About Me

I'm just starting to travel and I wanted to meet people instead of just staying in hotels. I'm definitely a nerd, but I like to joke around and make people laugh. I hope to meet many interesting people and have great stories to tell through here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people, learn about different cultures and places, what better way than staying with someone or letting other travellers stay with you? Plus, it sounds exciting :D

Interests

I tend to be a quiet person who just enjoys tinkering. I love to build and discuss topics and jokes. I love telling jokes and making folks laugh. Even if I'm quiet to startup 😁

  • animals
  • exotic pets
  • anime
  • good food
  • computers

Music, Movies, and Books

I like all kinds of music, experiencing new sounds is fun for me. The only category i don't really enjoy that much is country. Right now I'm listening to a lot of punk rock, synthwave retro, alternative, and heavy metal. I like most bands in all those categories.

I will read almost any sci-fi book about space, it fascinates me. Star Wars, The Lost Fleet, The Martian, many more. I'll also read lots of fantasy as well, the typical Tolkien, Harry Potter, The Shannara Chronicles.

My movies reflect my reading a lot. Lots of sci-fi, fantasy, a little horror (but not gore), comedy is big here too. I'll watch lots of stand-up and comedy specials.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been skydiving and I own an 8ft(2.2m) python that will grow to over +16ft(+3m)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really quite good with computers and electronics. I can fix most things pretty well. I'm trying to learn Russian since I'm going to visit, but also as a personal challenge to learn something that I'm not used to.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Computer help and hopefully good jokes, though I really enjoy bad puns too so watch out.

Countries I’ve Lived In

United States
