Currently living in Binh Thanh, HCMC. I spend most of my time with my girlfriend who I live with but I am hoping to connect with some other people if it's in the cards. I do work in ESL and am working on getting established here. Thanks for stopping by my profile!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to continue to make the most of my life and for me that's mostly in connecting with other people.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: instrumental electronic music like Aphex Twin, GY!BE, as well as anything classical.
Brazilian MPB e.g. Djavan. Soul Coughing, Pilot Scott Tracy/Causey Way, Red House Painters/Sun Kil Moon, Elliott Smith, and all the classics like The Doors, The Rolling Stones, Zeppelin..... lots of music

Books: Tropic of Cancer and pretty much anything by Henry Miller, The Unbearable Lightness of Being (Milan Kundera), The Fall (Albert Camus) Denial of Death (Becker) Power of Now (Tolle) anything spiritual is interesting too

Film: 28 Days Later, Requiem For A Dream, Amores Perros, Pulp Fiction, Traffic, Perfect Blue, The Cat Returns, My Neighbor Totoro ....anything intense but comedy is cool too... if it's well-made I probably enjoyed it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

we can talk about this in person ^_^

Teach, Learn, Share

I find practicing English with people very rewarding, I´m a native speaker.... as well if you know no or very little Spanish or Portuguese, I can help you with these languages too - it would be a tremendous pleasure. I'm fairly open but not some exceptional person with a ton of skills. Just like to travel, cook, bake, read, talk etc. I'd be super happy anything you want to teach me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I appreciate the most honest and thorough conversations more than anything and connecting with people.

Acts of service is my love language so I can get really into cleaning, organizing and assisting with projects.
