CURRENT MISSION

Live life to the fullest

ABOUT ME

My three greatest passions are teaching, photography and development work (traveling would come next on the list).

I've been globe trotting for the past five years or so. I served as a Peace Corps Volunteer from '07-'09 in Mongolia as a teacher trainer. Now I work at the American University of Iraq - Sulaimania as an English lecturer. I love taking pictures, learning languages and trying to figure the world out.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm still working on this one. My exeriences in Mongolia have made me reassess my life. When I was there I nearly died on a number of occassions, I was making around $100/ month

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a few couch surfers while I was in Mongolia. All very positive experiences. I gave them a tour of the city and we chatted.
