CURRENT MISSION

Eat less. Chew more.

ABOUT ME

I'm 24-years-old. The more people I meet, the more I figure out how little I've seen of this world. I just started what hopefully turns into an almost decade-long plan of being outside of the States. Taipei is my first stop.

PHILOSOPHY

Stay positive. Things work better with positive thinking. Otherwise, run for the hills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I unfortunately don't have much of an apartment here in Taipei, so I can't host. That said, I am more than willing to meet up and have a whiskey or a coffee or an Irish coffee (two birds, one stone kinda thing).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Best couchsurfing experience for me turned into a hilarious friendship with four of the best people I've ever met. Fabian, Jenny, Robert and Agnes changed my life for the better.

Interests

I would love to be able to consider myself a polyglot, but my skills aren't up there yet. I'm getting there, and that's part of the reason for traveling around the world.
I like reading the newspapers. Doesn't matter if it's print or just online. I feel the need to be constantly seeing what's going on in not only my own home but all around the world. I try to stay away from politics, but it's the most fun topic. The fact that two people can have completely different opinions on something makes me want to have studied psychology.
I like sports. I work at night so I get to stay up til the wee hours and watch da Bears on Monday mornings. I like anything with a racket, e.g. tennis, badminton, ping pong, squash(although I always forget the rules). If you like racket sports, I want to play more. Especially badminton. Just played the other day for the first time in a long time and remembered how awesome it is.
