Hello world!

I'm a 28 year old guy from Miami who is living abroad in southwestern France.

I'm a traveler, and visiting a new country and seeing how people live is one of my passions. I'm also an autodidact, I enjoy learning and I couldn't imagine a day going by where I'm not learning something new.

Above all, I love conversation and talking about anything and nothing in particular.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Right now I'd like to meet people from Japan and exchange with them about their culture, language, and everyday life.
