CURRENT MISSION Make Yourself at Home in Shanghai ABOUT ME Math teacher at a nearby international school. I've been teaching in China for 8 years in various locations and capacities. I think I'll stay in Asia for a long time. PHILOSOPHY A Christian pastor once told me, you *can* change the world. I believe that, and seek to make this world a better place through small actions. We are only in this world for a temporary period of time, and we should leave this place in better shape than we found it.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I just signed onto here recently ... like the concepts on this site. Made a donation to start things off. COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE I joined CS because of a crisis situation -- lost passport! If that happens to you in a foreign country, you had first better panic because you effectively don't exist anymore. But after done panicking, join CS and meet up with great people who will help get you back on track. That's exactly what happened to me in Guangzhou.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
I rode a bicycle through the intense mountain passes along the way from Vientiane to Luang Prabang, in Laos. Also rode through a military zone in South Thailand.
Teach, Learn, Share
Most people I meet say "I was terrible at math" or something like that when we talk about jobs. But there is no need to fear this subject, I am passionate about mathematics and can teach many practical things about how to use this in daily life.
My Interests
Coffee, reading, hip hop, bicycle travel, riding scooters, playing drums.
