I love life, intelligent people, GOOD MUSIC, drinks, peace, harmony, partying, learning, cooking, hiking, running, basketball, the concrete, the grit, and the beauty. I'm was a English teacher in China (Wulingyuan, ever see the movie avatar?) for a 1 and a half. Currently a Physical Education Teacher and track and field coach at high school level.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to explore what mankind has to offer. A lot of good people out there!

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My best friend got me into it, I only hosted two people so far while I was living in China. Now that I'm back in the U.S I plan to meet and experience more CS'ers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Overall positive!

Interests

Ahhhhh, this is always tough. Honestly I'm just interested in things I don't know about . There was a time when I was primarily interested in abstract things like art and philosophy. While I still love thinking about those, I've realized during my travels that the greatest mystery is the people around us since everyone is different. So I guess my biggest interest is in people. Also, I'm a advit runner and basketball player.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ive climbed the most dangerous hike in the world which is a mountain in China called Mt. Hua Shan. At its base, you'll find a gigantic set of stone stairs, called "the Heavenly Stairs." These stairs go so high up the mountainside, it's hard to see where they end. If that wasn't enough, the precarious stairs lead to the world's most dangerous trail, the Hua Shan plank path. The plank trail leads high up the Hua Shan mountain just outside the city Xi’an. No one will force you to wear safety gear, although it's strongly encouraged. The trail itself is dangerous and stunning.
