CURRENT MISSION

My mission is to develop my understanding of cultures around the world through experiencing them first hand. I would love to meet people from around the world and I hope to do this through CS.

ABOUT ME

I enjoy family and friends. I am always up to try anything new and enjoy meeting new people and making friendships. I moved to China in 2010 and since that time China has developed into one of my life passions.

Backpack In China:
In November 2012 I launched my latest project: Backpack In China. A website / blog with the goal to support, inspire, and connect travelers around the world who are interested in backpacking through China.

PHILOSOPHY

Sound mind, Sound body. Everything is healthy in moderation.

Express your opinions. I believe that there are too many people in this world today that are divided because of of government.

Beijing Couchsurf. What an awesome group of people!

Once I hiked the great wall with CSers from Iran, Germany, Italy, and Canada. World views in every direction, but thats the best part.
