I enjoy good conversation, good drinks, and am as comfortable in an open backcountry as I am in a crowded city. My free time is spent in travel, reading, writing, and learning - but curiosity tends to exceed my bandwidth.

I'm independent, but greatly appreciate spending time with the company of others. My best experiences are both those with friends who I've shared things with in the past, as well as trips spent in contemplative isolation. I'm community-minded, enjoy contributing as a service, and learning about other people's stories in my effort to turn common opportunities into great experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

Im full of pointless facts and recommendation about what to do in East Asia.
