Currently teaching English in Xinxiang, China. Have had an interest in foreign languages and countries for many years, especially the East and the cultures of Buddhism. I am a pretty chill sort of person, and I enjoy the outdoors, reading, writing, studying my languages, exploring new places, exercising.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Music, Movies, and Books

Books are my staple entertainment. Science fiction, fantasy, mainstream fiction, social criticism (particularly of technological values), Buddhism, didactic theory (I am a teacher, after all)...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Learned Chinese! More or less... Still working on the written part though.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm pretty knowledgeable about this town, Xinxiang, and my spoken Chinese is good enough to get you whatever you need. Also our apartment is clean and we're nice people.
