I'm a Ohio native that moved to China 3 years ago to teach and see the world. I'm still here, currently in Shanghai and enjoying almost every minute of it. I spend my time working and being with the people that I love. Simple life:)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To makes friends all over the world, nothing better than that! I want to hear your stories, go to your favorite places, and listen to what you want to share with me.

I also want show people some of what I think are the most beautiful places in Shanghai, so if you're planning a visit reach out! I'm also up for meeting in a different country to travel, or meeting up locally for a coffee or drink.

Music, Movies, and Books

Folk- Andrew Bird and Ray LaMontagne are amazing!
Jazz- I've been listening to Norah Jone's new album a lot recently

I read a lot of Osho because I think he's brilliant. I also like magical realism- Gabriel Garcia Marquez is one of my favorites.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I take join in the little things, so when I'm thinking about this I think of the day I smiled at nearly every single person I looked at:)

Teach, Learn, Share

I know about religions, spirituality, health, cooking, and other stuff, and I really enjoy talking about it for those who are keen on listening

What I Can Share with Hosts

My favorite places in whatever city I'm living in, and I can take you to places that I think you'll like. Good coffee in the mornings and some good food! I can share basic living essentials too, i.e. laundry with dryer. My home is your home.
