ABOUT ME

After graduating college I set off to Hiroshima, Japan to teach English for 2 years, then traveled around Asia for nearly 5 months. It was the experience of a lifetime. Currently in America, trying to figure out the next step and how long I can stay here before I get itchy feet again.

I LOVE to meet new people and would consider myself outgoing, adventurous, and independent.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some good, some really good, and some bad. I just look at the bad ones as ammunition for my arsenal of good stories to tell later in life. I randomly met two people on their honeymoon that met through Hospitality Club. I don't think that will happen to me but thought that was a pretty cool story.

音乐、电影和书籍

Movies: Can't Buy Me Love (I am a cheeseball), L'Auberge Espagnole, Lost in Translation, Dumb and Dumber
Music: I am not good at this question: I listen to it all esp if it can make me dance or chill out.
Books: Gotta love Harry Potter, Kite Runner, and studying Metamorphosis in HS changed my life. Honestly I like to read but don't do it enough.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Building houses in Mexico, scuba diving at Sipadan, cross-country skiing in Tahoe, watching the sunrise atop Mt. Fuji (twice!), Kilimanjaro, Everest basecamp, Half Dome and Angkor Wat; getting naked at Everest, Annapurna South, and Half Dome; rubbing shoulders with monks in Luang Prabang, winning a turban-tying competition in India, motoing through the Vietnamese Central Highlands, playing guitar whilst wandering the slums of Cebu in the Philippines, hiking in Switzerland/Banaue/California/Himalayas, hitching in Japan, swinging like tarzan through a rainforest at the Gibbon Experience, 4 incredible years at Cal, and the list is endless....

Other stories...guess we will have to meet up to find out!

教，学，和分享

I can teach you how to put on a yukata, make a mean Spanish tortilla or maki sushi, shotgun a beer, swing or salsa dancing, and how to say 'hello' and 'cheers' in most countries I have traveled.

I want to learn to sing, play the guitar, to cook chili, and how to play poker.
