CURRENT MISSION

To be the change I wish to see in the world.

ABOUT ME

I have chronic wanderlust and am currently trying to live my dreams in Taiwan.

I was a born adventurer. My first memories are from when I was three and I used to ride my little plastic tricycle around the block just to see what was on the other side.

Make life your work, not the other way around.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to host as much as possible and obviously I love to surf in new cities. There is so much that is awesome about couch surfing, it's one of many things that are truly making the world a better place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had a lot of amazing experiences and met a lot of cool people through CouchSurfing. I've been a part of CouchSurfing for about 2 years now.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I have a number of life moments that hold a special place in my heart, including but not limited to:

-counting down New Years Eve on a highrise rooftop in Taichung, and watching as hundreds of fireworks all over the city simultaneously went off.

-a boat ride down a beautiful canal on a perfectly clear spring day in Shaoxing, China.

-A wicked whirlwind food tour through Singapore with a great CS host.

-jumping naked off of a 30 foot cliff into the lake in my college town in the middle of the night

-Getting completely lost in Bangkok and enjoying the hell out of it.

教，学，和分享

I have a passion for good conversation. I believe that having experiences and sharing them with one another is the key to personal and human growth.

As far as actual things to teach, I can teach you some Chinese (I've been studying for 4 years, and living in Taiwan and China for over 2!)

I am also getting pretty good at guitar (I've been playing seriously for about a year now), so I can teach you some beginner guitar.

I also like to cook (especially Mexican food, which is a specialty since I am from Texas). I can teach you to make bread, curries, hummus, etc. I'm always happy to provide a home cooked meal.

I also enjoy surfing, although I'm fairly new, so if we go surfing together there's a good chance you'll be teaching me!
