I am an English teacher and traveler who has lived in Costa Rica and Taiwan. I am going to Australia for a year for a working holiday with my girlfriend Grace. We like hiking, board games, cooking, and trying new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing to connect with other travelers and to explore alternative traveling options. I think Couchsurfing offers a more intimate experience than staying at a hotel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught English to students from age 2 - 80.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning new things and attempting to make sense of the world around me. I enjoy engaging in intellectual conversations and I am up for a discussion about just about any topic. If you need to practice English, Spanish, or basic Chinese, then I am your guy! I am a so-so chef but my girlfriend Grace is a great cook and we would love to cook for any host!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help anyone practice English or Spanish and I need to learn more Chinese! Also, Grace and I would love to cook something for our host if we can!
