ABOUT ME

*NOTE* I live in Kaohsiung, Taiwan (on the bottom south-western coast of Taiwan)...NOT in Canada at the moment.

I never know what to put in these things...
I'm a 24 year old music and photography loving vegan. My goal in life is to visit every country by the age of 30. I previously taught English for one year in Yeosu, South Korea, but now I'm currently living in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and teaching English. I hope to work in the human rights field line of work when I "grow up". Other than that, what can I say? Oh, I hate cantaloupe...and peas.

PHILOSOPHY

1. Go Veg!
2. Peace & Love
3. Karma
4. TRAVEL

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined this community after seeing the website mentioned in a "Lonely Planet" forum, and I have not yet hosted anyone as I previously lived at home. Now that I've moved to Taiwan and have a place of my own I'm definitely down for hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed in NYC in August 2008, awesome experience and I couldn't have asked for a better host! Later on in the Fall of 2009 I surfed with a few people when I backpacked the USA, all great people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went on a hot air balloon ride for free, I personally think this is pretty amazing since they cost $$$$.

The Grand Canyon was awe inspiring, nothing can describe it in words.

I backpacked across Canada a few years back and backpacked the US alone this past autumn.

I moved to South Korea on my own last year to teach English..now on to Taiwan!

Bali, Indonesia is by far one of the best places I have ever been to..if not THE Best.

Brunei Darussalam, Canada, China, France, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Mongolia, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States
