CURRENT MISSION

I want to change the world.

ABOUT ME

Energetic guy always open for new things. I don't really have a "home town" since I've moved around so much, and traveling is in my blood. Most of my traveling in my younger years was with my family, but after studying in China for 4 months I discovered my passion for the freedom of independent travel and going off the beaten path! Looking for an adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

MANTRA: Connect; the rest is silence.

I believe there is truth in everything, and I love discovering it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

New to all this! Can't host right now because 1) I do not own a couch, and 2) I barely know my roommate. However, I plan on host and surfing soon!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None to date but open for adventure!

Interests

I LOVE HISTORY. Understanding the context of a place helps me understand the people in it. Things that have an authentic past are beautiful, in my opinion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have hiked the mountains of Zhangjiajie, grabbing a Future Cola at one of peaks of the pillared mountains and chasing monkeys in the Golden River Valley.

Teach, Learn, Share

So I love history, but not a lot of people do. They think it's a bunch of dates and facts, which it technically is...but it's also so much more! I'm willing to have some great conversations about historical events and how they relate to modern issues, connecting the past to the present!

I also would love to learn to cook some different recipes, so if you're willing let's make some food together!
