CURRENT MISSION

Soak up the sights and culture of Shanghai and Bali. Hopefully meet some fun people to share these experiences with.

ABOUT ME

The more I travel the more I learn and realize the less I really know, it's quite a humbling experience.

PHILOSOPHY

I'd rather say I'm glad I did than I with I would have. The first step in any new endeavor is always the hardest but it gets easier with time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined couch surfing years ago when I friend told me about it but had forgotten about it over the years. Recently a fellow traveler and new friend brought it to my attention that couchsurfing is now world wide! I thought this would be a great way to meet locals and see more than the tourist veneer so many get on the travel circuit.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Brand new to this! I'm a little nervous but very excited.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in India for a year, everyday I was amazed by something new. It was an amazing experience that has had a lasting impact on me.

Motorcycling across Vietnam was also pretty awesome :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Inspiring others by sharing ideas and stories to get the creative juices flowing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A good dinner, cold drink and conversation. I'd love to meet people who I can go out with and share a good time with whether that be a mellow dinner conversation or checking out the local bars and night markets.
