Originally from Toronto, Canada. During my undergrad in Ottawa, I lived in Ecuador for one year to research micro-credit cooperatives, and then to Rwanda in order to research small business cooperatives and community development programs.

Then I moved on to a short stint at University of Texas in Austin to study Non-Profit Management, from there moved to Southern India for training in Community Driven Development,

Then moved to my Dad's hometown of Taipei 4 years ago in search of my family roots, where I ended up teaching a bunch of English, opening a Smoothie Shop Chain (http://tw.woogojuice.com/), starting an Indi-Rock band and a Hip Hop group.

Now it's getting time to move on, and I'm currently projected to land in Melbourne, Australia.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

LOVE meeting folk who love meeting folk themselves. Exchanging ideas, cuisines, memories and new experiences with other's is a big part of what I live for. I also think it's a great community of welcoming people who are always looking to help another out, which sounds like a good community to me. : )
