ABOUT ME

Hi

My name is Jeff. I am a writer from Vancouver, B.C., Canada. Right now, I am visiting Brazil and looking for a place to stay! It is a long story, but it involves a friend backing out on a promise to let me crash at his place ...

PHILOSOPHY

I believe in solving problems, not causing problems. It's incredible how many people choose to make life more complicated when they could be making it easier just with a tiny bit of effort.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately, right now I don't have a couch to offer since I am down in Brazil. However, I'll be happy to open up my couch once I get back home.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No experiences so far. I've had a few people suggest that I try this site to see if anyone can help me out of my current dilemma.

Interests

I am a writer, a martial arts guy, and an all-around nice dude.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love almost every kind of music. I've seen almost every movie ever made (I reviewed movies for a while) and I have read more than I can remember.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Brazil is likely the most amazing thing I've done in my life so far. I was in Japan for a week, and that was pretty incredible. Also, I once was in the Playboy Mansion. That seems to impress a lot of folk, even though it wasn't very impressive to tell you the truth. I'm hoping my stay here is a tale I can tell back home ... in a good way!

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak a bit of Portuguese. I am learning it fast, but I would love to learn more. Obviously, I could help anyone learn English. I have been doing martial arts my whole life, so I could show you a move or two also.
