CURRENT MISSION

To eat, play, and love. Or just immerse myself in other cultures.

ABOUT ME

If you asked my best friends, they would say...

Ah, yeah, he works too much, but he's someone who wants to change the world for the better.

He's a little nerdy about things. Once a know-it-all, he was grounded by the real world and now has a lot of respect for others. He uses his knowledge for good, not evil.

He quotes makes too many pop culture references.

"You try for what you want and are always learning-- which is the key!"

PHILOSOPHY

Live life as best as you can, without hurting others.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a first time Couchsurfer, but I love the community! My friends have all surfed and hosted.

兴趣

I like to learn, anything I can learn.

I spend my time working, learning new things, surfing the web, and traveling when I can.

I do hope to start traveling more often and experience the lives of others. I want to submerge myself in different languages and cultures.
