It's an experience, and something can be gained with that first step. So let's do something different, make a difference, and take that first step -- into my open arms of love. haha.

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING Every time I bring it up with new-kids-on-the-block, I get the strangest reactions, "You're insane." But once I start explaining it, their interest is piqued and that's how the circle of life begins. Thank you "Lion King." COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE 1) New Orleans - CSed for the first time (2009)2) STL - winter time w/ two newbs (2009)3) Albuqurque - awesome host w/ a tour (2010)4) Kansas City - artsy, definitely unique...

One Amazing Thing I've Done
Serving overseas teaching English as a mission trip to China has been a far more eye opening experience that has impacted not only my life but those who I interacted with and those who have seen my life through my pics.
Teach, Learn, Share
"Asian-cajun?" I used that description once, interviewers loved it, but didn't get the job. Even still, I don't regret ever using it either.
My Interests
Writing (but not enough of). Trying to learn a language with my very Americanized accent. And you. haha.
