About Me

CURRENT MISSION

While building my small restaurant (2 years so far), trying to stay sane through (often vicarious) travel.

ABOUT ME

While intense at work (a kitchen), always my first choice for "free time" is to interact with people and open up my world a bit by knowing about their's.

PHILOSOPHY

To get to the end of my life knowing I did what I wanted and needed to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fabulous time in La Paz Baja California a few years ago. Other than that, great surfers staying with us since.

Interests

Soccer (nowadays as a spectator), anything with food, dry wit.

  • dining
  • traveling
  • soccer

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sold all I owned and jumped on a plane to Japan after university. The first foreign country I'd been to, I stayed 10 years (and it's stayed with me since).
