About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To Seek and To Find

ABOUT ME

I was a student at the University of Oklahoma, and I studied international relations and anthropology. I love anything to do with the outdoors, traveling, fishing, reading, and good coffee. During the Summer I worked at a camp in Missouri, which is a blast, leading fishing trips and counseling. Now I got a great new job as a teacher in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.

PHILOSOPHY

Romans 6:23

"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Philippians 3:7-8

"But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ."

Philippians 3:14

"I press on towards the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to travel, and I am looking to help others travel any way that I can. I believe that couchsurfing is a way to share ideas cross culturally, it promotes a better understanding of other cultures by allowing for exchange. It is also the only way to really experience another culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CouchSurfing is one of the best things that you can do. The only way to experience another culture is to know the people there and to spend time with them. You never learn anything by being a tourist.

Interests

Jesus Christ, Dostoevsky, Any type of reading, good Music, Meeting new people, Traveling (of course), trying new food
