CURRENT MISSION

To further my sense of wonder

ABOUT ME

I'm an American living in Okinawa for a while, getting my BA in English and Education, eventually to teach English across the globe!
I just moved here from England and have traveled to many places in Europe; meeting incredible people, learning about history, art and human nature. I love meeting new people, although I also enjoy being alone with a book sometimes as well.
To use a cliche, "variety is the spice of life", and this is why I like Okinawa and CS!

PHILOSOPHY

He not busy being born, is busy dying.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Same couch, different location. Okinawa has quickly sunk its hooks into me. There's so much to do from eating, to diving, to shopping, to hiking.... This place has something for everyone. I look forward to meeting all the people this location brings my way!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

- I've couchsurfed through Europe, and met the most wonderful people!
On my own- I've also surfed a couple of picnic tables when times got rough!
