My life has been full of transitions, but for the last 3 years, I have made my home in Taiwan. Here, I have worn many hats including those of a missionary, a teacher, and a student.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not a manic traveler (unlike some of my friends), but seeing new places has always been a way of life for me. When the wanderlust kicks in, it's nice to experience the new locales among people who already know and love those places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got my PADI license in Malaysia. I'm not sure if I will ever forget seeing a big 'ol sea turtle just cruising by- on my very first real dive no less.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm willing to help a host with their English, and very happy to talk about history. So much crazy stuff has happened on this planet you wouldn't believe!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation, dry (some say British style) humor, anything reasonably portable you'd like me to pick up from Taiwan (we have good tea here).
