About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meeting interesting people from around the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm a "Cross-Cultural Social Entrepreneur", Founder of CultureMesh & Refugee/Immigrant Young-Adult Neighbor (RYAN), a 501(c)(3) non-profit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting, Surfing, and generally learning more about the world and its cultures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The start-up journey has kept me tied up quite often, but I want to host & surf as soon as I can!

Interests

I love traveling, learning about other cultures, and learning languages. I also love meeting up with new people and networking with other entrepreneurs.

  • traveling
  • surfing
  • entrepreneurship
  • languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to name, but my favorite magazine is National Geographic, which I've read since I was 10 years old!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Starting something new: being an entrepreneur is difficult but awesome!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some language skills and introduce people to the cool multi-ethnic communities I work with!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you to start a new organization, whether it be a non-profit, business, or any other type of vehicle for jump-starting your dreams! I'm also a professional writer, and can edit almost anything to a nearly flawless standard. Further, I've worked with international students, refugees, and guest workers, so I am quite fluent regarding the ins and outs of America's immigration system, should that be of interest...
