About Me

CURRENT MISSION

living life to the fullest and sharing a good story

ABOUT ME

I am from Chicago, now I am living in Taiwan teaching English. I love music, a lot of different stuff. Daft Punk is currently my favorite. But I also like heavy metal, (iron maiden) punk, electronica, blues, classic rock, etc, etc. I love reading, usually American literature, stuff about history, psychology, and crazy stories. This is my fourth time living abroad, I lived in Seoul, Mexico and Venezuela before. I am fluent in Spanish after living between those two countries for 6 months. !!Se habla espanol!!! Other than music, I enjoy just having a good time and getting good n crazy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking for some places to crash as I make my way around Asia. However, I am willing to offer up my place to anyone who is interested. I live in Taipei, very close to an MRT station. It's a very popular area near a couple universities and several bars and a couple clubs.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My sister hosts people in Chicago quite frequently, and I've met some of her guests. They are pretty cool people for the most part.

I crashed at a couple places when I first arrived in Taiwan. Met some very nice people who hosted me here.
