I love to explore and learn. I value genuine relationships. Adventures are my favorite.

I started traveling in SE Asia when I joined an organization called Youth With A Mission. After coming back to the US, I started taking classes with the Harvard Extension School. I'm a science geek at heart, but my studies focus on world religion and writing.

As ironic as this might be, I'm an introvert. I enjoy getting to know people, but it can also feel a little overwhelming. But I think it's worth it to sit down with new people, hear their stories, and understand other world-views.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I enjoy cultures, history, and people. Couchsurfing is a great avenue to explore all of these things while traveling. It's much better to understand a nation and culture by experiencing it with locals, not with hotels and tourist traps. Also, I would gladly sit and have a beer with a new friend, but I am not a typical 20-something partier. So I would not like to go to a club or disco to go drinking and stay out all night.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

With YWAM I worked in India, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia. In these countries, my teams provided food, education, emotional support, and even entertainment to people in cities, slums, and villages

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I used to be an English teacher in Thailand. So I can teach English. I also love to talk about God, morality, and all those other things that are deeply important to us (except for politics).

I can cook delicious food! But I understand people might just want me too cook hamburgers and fries because I am American :)
