I have been living in the Chicago area for about a year now. I absolutely love the sights and the fact that there are always things to do. It is a big difference from the town I grew up in but the change of pace is great.

I love to travel and go rock climbing and have been trying to get back into reading and writing.

I am a relatively easy-going guy and am always looking for something fun to do.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I have spent a lot of time traveling the world and seeing new places. The best part is always meeting the people who live in the city. I would always rather visit people than visit places.

兴趣

I like to eat and travel as well as learn about new people, languages and cultures. In general I am a pretty flexible guy. I am more than willing to go camping, visit art exhibits, or just have a beer with a group of friends. Any new experiences are welcome.

音乐、电影和书籍

If I had to just pick one of each I would say my favorite band is Dispatch. I love everything about them from their poetic lyrics, perfect harmonizing and kind message. They are the epitome of what music should represent (in my book).

Movies, there are too many to count. I am a huge fan of documentaries and anything educational. However, if it is a good movie its a good movie. I will watch romance, action, sci-fi as long as it is rated well. (I live and die by Rottentomatoes.com)

My all time favorite graphic novel is, "The Watchmen" and book, "All is Quiet on The Western Front".

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I used to work at a company that raised insects for human consumption. It was featured in a lot of international media. Monster.com shot a commercial about us and I got to be the Mike Wazowski of the shoot (I am in the background of many shots). If ya'll are interested this is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZLPSSgLZbqw. I'm the tall guy with the white t-shirt in the background!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I was an english teacher in South china for 15 months so I can aide in any English language acquisition that is needed. Besides that, I love to share stories. Since then I have moved to Chicago and have gotten to know the city quite well.

If you want a tour guide, someone to show you around, or even just some general suggestions of where to eat I can provide some solid tip.
