About Me

Currently, I am an English teacher up in Northern China. In my free time, I watch too much tv and do my best to improve my talents in writing for the medium. I'm passionate about few things, but enjoy most.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've had several friends craft some wonderful holidays through this service and they all highly recommended it. I am a fan of traveling, and those who do, so Couchsurfing sounds like a great way to get in touch with the world.

Interests

Television. I breeze through full series weekly, explaining it away as research for my desire to write for television.
Writing. I haven't sold or published anything, so I can't claim this as anything more than a hobby, but I aim to change that soon.
Alcohol. Not binging - mind you - but in the tasting and the discovery. I love touring breweries and distilleries, but I haven't found many so far in China.

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: Ray Bradbury's short stories are wonderful. An old, beat up collection of his is my favorite book in the world. I don't read as much as I should, but East of Eden, The Road, and Nimona all deserve mentions.
Music: I dislike this question, because there is too much to list. I'll say The Go! Team is my favorite band, and soul/blues has some of the best music that the world has created.
Movies: Right now, Star Wars is all that's on my mind.

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, United States
