About Me

I've actually been doing a bit of traveling over the past few years and have some how ended up moving to Sydney, Australia. I've got a family now, so I'm not really in the best place to be hosting anymore but if you're ever in Sydney, hit me up and I'll be more than happy to show you around and take you surfing.

CURRENT MISSION

Explore, learn, laugh, eat, then hopefully repeat.

ABOUT ME

AHH A NINJA!! Kinda... I'm currently living, working, and studying the things that I want out of life. I love traveling (it's an expensive addiction), eating (it's been an unhealthy addiction), and just reaping the most out of what this world has to offer. I'm also a big outdoors kinda of guy, so I generally like to be out side and keep my windows open when I can (because I think it's good juju).

PHILOSOPHY

Good food, good music, and good people...And maybe an internet connection won't hurt either.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer my home to two surfers at a time when I can and I try to get out there to surf when the opportunity p[resents itself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first exposure to CS was when I was going to school in Beijing and my visa expired. My dormitory kicked me out for about 3 days till my new visa arrived. During that time I ran in to some people who introduced me to CS and that's how I survived for the next two days. :D Exciting!

Teach, Learn, Share

[China]
.I learned that you shouldn't tell a Chinese girl, "I want to eat your toufu". I'm serious!
.It's a really socially safe country, so safe that you see old people and little kids in unlit parks after dark.
