Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

In recent years, I’ve reduced my consumption of music, movies, and books to focus more on creating content. However, I still appreciate diverse genres and enjoy exploring new artistic expressions when I find the time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• Biked 1,000 miles in 10 days, twice.
• Hiked three 14,000-foot peaks in just five days.
• Worked with celebrities and other VIPs, learning that success and happiness aren’t measured by money.
• Traveled and worked from 14 countries and counting, and I teach others how to achieve this lifestyle.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching health and fitness, which was my first career for 25 years. I’m passionate about helping others achieve their dreams of becoming digital nomads or earning money through side income streams. Currently, I’m eager to learn spoken Mandarin Chinese and explore more about different cultures and languages.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in health and fitness, which I love to share. I can offer personalized tips and advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, even while traveling. Additionally, I have plenty of insights and practical advice for those interested in the digital nomad lifestyle or creating side income streams. I enjoy exchanging cultural experiences and learning new languages, so I’d be thrilled to share my journey and hear about yours.
