CURRENT MISSION

Croatia

ABOUT ME

I come from a big family, full of actors, pastors, poets, and teachers. I talk about comic books with my friends. I make bonfires in my back yard, play banjo poorly, harmonica fairly, and have a single lifelong piano ballad going. I speak Chinese and some Czech.

PHILOSOPHY

I am torn between standing for something and falling for everything.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
