About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn a lot of languages, get a job teaching english

ABOUT ME

I've been going from one thing to another since high school. I've been to three colleges in Virginia (ecpi, TCC, ODU), and one in Seattle (AiS), but so far not long enough in any one thing to get a degree (although I have over 150 credits). I spent a year in Iraq with the Washington Army National Guard. Now I want to live abroad for a while and teach English. I want to travel a lot more too. I also want to focus more on a few of my interests, Boxing and Music, and get good enough at them to go somewhere with them. But for now, teaching English is a wonderful job.

PHILOSOPHY

I really don't have all the answers unfortunately, but I think everyone should be treated with respect. I really like to make people laugh I guess.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I don't have my own place (I use my parents address for billing). In a few months, though, I hope to be living in Taiwan and then I would be interested in seeing what hosting is like. Right now what I really want to do to meet and hang out with new people, so it's not enough to just go somewhere new and do tourist stuff by myself. That's where you come in! Even if you don't have a couch, but just want to hang out and introduce me to your city, that's fine with me. Bring your friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far just hostels. My best experience was in San Francisco, where I met some people from Taiwan and we traveled around California and to Las Vegas together.

Interests

Boxing, Music (although I'm not good yet, except at singing), Karaoke, Animation, Video Games, Languages (although I'm still struggling to learn my first foreign language.
