After graduating from the University of Southern Maine in 2011 I moved directly to China, and have been teaching English ever since. I really love it here, the people are friendly, the food is delicious, and the cost of living is low! I married a Chinese girl, and we have a nice apartment with three bedrooms. We live in a beautiful community close to the subway, and next to the historic Da Ming Gong cultural heritage Park.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I've enjoyed traveling in my younger years, and I'm thankful that I was able to do it inexpensively. Now that I have a settled home, and a spare bedroom, I'd like to help others see the world on a dime.
