Hello all! I am sort of new to traveling, but after a two week trip to Japan with an amazing friend I’ve had a taste and want more! I love meeting new people and sharing experiences and exchanging information and ideas of all kinds. I enjoy time spent outdoors doing things like climbing, slacklining or swimming.

I work night shift in a kitchen that makes bread from 6pm-4am, so I apologize if these hours make it difficult to coordinate.

Some of my favorite quotes:

“If you have an apple and I have an apple, and we exchange these apples then you and I still each have one apple. But if you have an idea and I have an idea, and we exchange ideas, then each of us will have two ideas” - George Bernard Shaw

“A teacher is never a giver of truth—they are a guide, a pointer to the truth that each student must find for themselves. A good teacher is merely a catalyst” - Bruce Lee

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am here to meet new people and gain new perspectives on life. I love experiencing new things and would love to be able to give someone the opportunity to experience or learn something new.

Interests

I like to connect with people, climb, slackline, swim, hike, cook, play video games and occasionally read and try to learn guitar.

Music, Movies, and Books

Animal Collective, Earl Sweatshirt and Mulatu Astatke are my top 3 musicians. My top 3 movies are probably Yes Man with Jim Carrey, Zoolander with Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson snd Will Ferrell, and The Bourne Series with Matt Damon. My favorite book is Bruce Lee’s Striking Words of Wisdom, and I am currently reading Dune!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My friend and I did a 3 week camping/rockclimbing trip to Bishop California! We camped for 3 weeks in a campground and met amazing people from all over the world. We brought most of our food with us and just decided to stay until we ran out of food.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy cooking and would love to share or exchange recipes with you. I also play chess, go, and many other card games and am always looking to play or learn new games! Anything else that you would like to teach or share with me would be much appreciated :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a car so I could easily meet you or help you get somewhere, and if you’re interested I could show you some cool nature spots or around the city. I would offer dinner and breakfast as well!
