CURRENT MISSION

Ah, shit-- was I supposed to have a mission??

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Durham, NC, a place that is still very dear to my heart. Over the last three years, I've spent more than two living in China. This is my third stint in China, this time around I'm serving as a PC volunteer in Mianyang. I teach English at Mianyang Normal University.

PHILOSOPHY

Just find what makes you happy, and do the hell out of it.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I function primarily as an unofficial marketing agent/relentlessly enthusiastic advocate of couchsurfing, whenever it comes up in conversation or whenever I can casually interject it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've both hosted and surfed in several countries; nothing but fabulous experiences. My faith in humanity continues to be reinforced.

兴趣

First and foremost, traveling! I love exploring new places, meeting new people, and trying new things.

I also love photography, writing, music, cooking, eating, hiking, camping, good beer, cheap whiskey, and making questionable decisions. Just generally enjoying life!
