I enjoy the opportunity to meet new people, explore new places and try new things like food, activities, etc. I like to hike, mountain bike, check the sights, listen to the music, crawl the bars and so on. I'm usually up for anything that's fun and exciting or even relaxing like a stroll around town or a chill jazz lounge. I myself usually get into the extremes of activities whether it is CrossFit for fitness or carving corners through the canyons on my motorcycle. Currently into getting PADI certified as a SCUBA diver!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet and connect with people as much as possible. Also, being able to get in touch with someone who knows an area leads to those secret, backstage-esque things only locals know about. I find that extremely valuable!

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm an audiophile and listen to all types of music. Classical, rock, rap, hip-hop, EDM, etc. As long as it has a good beat and melody, I can usually get into it. I like action, drama, sci-fi, etc. Not really picky but I do also enjoy horror, documentaries and movies with plot-twist. I haven't read as much lately but I am starting to get back into it. Check back with me later or ask me about it!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I did a 3-day, ~30 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail from Lake Arrowhead to Big Bear Lake a few years back with two good friends. We bonded, struggled, laughed and at the end each had a chicken with a pint of pink lemonade that was the best thing I've ever tasted in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to teach piano some years back. If you really want to learn, I can give you some pointers! Just make sure you practice!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Great companionship along with deep and honest conversations about anything. Nonjudgemental but real. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
