CURRENT MISSION

to meet as many travelers, artists, intellectuals, and adventurers as possible

ABOUT ME

I just ended my four year college career in the great state of Iowa. A little lost, confused, and not yet ready to accept a job I didn't love or move back in with my parents (eek), I decided to move to Japan for 9 months and teach English to little Japanese nuggets (a weird word I use for kids). So here I am.

PHILOSOPHY

Live the Life you Love, Love the Life you Live

Get busy living or get busy dying

Maybe happiness isn't on the road to anything. Maybe happiness is the road.

I don't believe in the Democratic Party or the Republican Party...just parties

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I don't have a couch but I would love to meet fellow travelers for coffee or drinks!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have participated in CS through social events and meetings but I have yet to host or been hosted.
