Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Although it would be easy enough to rent a hotel and go explore aimlessly on my own, I travel to learn about the culture not merely to see sites. It is in people where my fondest memories have been made, so as I take a giant leap of faith away from a career in which I've invested eight years of my life to travel for a year prior to grad school, I hope to have others as part of my journey!
Music, Movies, and Books
Music- I listen to pretty much anything that makes me happy Movies- Big Fish, Moulin Rouge, The Art of Flight, Human Planet Books- Catch 22, The Screwtape Letters, Good to Great, Start with Why, Unbroken, Deep, Confessions
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Became a SCUBA instructor while living in Japan.
Teach, Learn, Share
How to SCUBA dive, what it's like to fly helicopters, stories about my life
What I Can Share With Hosts
A smile, a laugh, a few good stories, and a good adult beverage.
My Interests
I love to eat slow meals while making new friends. Longboarding by the beach. Activities that require one to be "all in" for success (i.e. skydiving or karaoking in front of a large crowd). Not taking life too seriously, allowing the little things to make me smile and finding adventure in everyday life has lent my heart to greater fulfillment than I could have ever imagined.
