CURRENT MISSION

To visit as many world heritage sites as possible before I'm too frail to travel anymore.

ABOUT ME

I adore traveling and meeting new people. I like sharing stories and adventures with both friends and with people I may never see again. It's always an interesting experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Have fun discovering who you are and who you want to be. Take a risk every now and then while exploring the world, but don't be stupid. Understand that the world is a spectacularly beautiful yet frightening place at the same time. I'm very spontaneous and would cross the globe non-stop if I could afford to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are many amazing things I've accomplished. Some of my fondest memories come from teaching English to Japanese high school students and creating an English club for students who I still communicate with today. I lived there for 3 years. It is an amazing country! And building a home for a Thai family in ChangMai was pretty cool too.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a philosopher, but when something of interest strikes my fancy I learn all I can about it. There are too many interesting things to talk about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends on my work schedule but can probably show you around town, or if I can't join you, definitely put together an itinerary you will love. Chicago is a must see city!
