About Me

I'm just an average guy who likes travelling and getting to know people. Currently on a trip to the Americas.

In 2017, I did a 9 month trip which covered Hong Kong, China, Japan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Thailand and Malaysia. While I was in Japan, I helped out at some farms through WWOOF.

Hitchhiked from Hope, B.C. to Tuktoyaktuk and crossing over to Alaska on the Top of the World Highway, going all the way up to Prudhoe Bay and am now on my way south.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I also like learning languages.
