Currently studying Traditional Mandarin in Taiwan!

I grew up in a suburb of San Diego called Santee.

I was infected with the travel bug from an early age. I grew up going on road trips with my dad and brother. At time of writing I have been to 37 states. In my adult life I've traveled to 13 countries [so far :)]

I spent ba year living in New Zealand and a year in Australia. Currently studying Mandarin in Taiwan

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I like to meet people who live where I'm traveling. I'm more interested in experience over sight seeing.
