About Me

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So I can meet locals and see the street, city, country, and world through their eyes. Find good hole in the wall, authentic places to eat and play. Practice the language and understand the cultural norms of the places I visit.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to American country music, folk, some classical, and Christian. I will be interested in the local folk music of places I visit.
I love too many movies to have a favorite. I like drama, action, war, crime, and uplifting films.
Confession time, I don't read all that much anymore... But when I do, I love good detective stories like Sherlock Holms, introspective books like Finding George Orwell, books on war experiences like Thunder Below, or better yet war experiences that are introspective like The Things They Carried.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived with a fox...

Teach, Learn, Share

I like listening and understanding, and growing up as a third culture kid this means cultures, political views, religion, and a little on art.
So be ready to be interviewed about your culture and your views; and I have my own views too, so if you are open to it be ready for me to talk your ears off, too. Haha!

Other than that, I am more than happy to teach, share, and learn in any of my interest areas such as photography, shooting, volleyball, etc.

I am also open to learn whatever you are passionate about teaching. =)
