CURRENT MISSION

What we're all after—chasing the dream of happiness & fulfillment.

ABOUT ME

I'm an adventurous person with many places to see and people to meet. I place high value on genuineness and loyalty, so my friends stay in my life for years to come.

I am currently working as a technical writer for a medical device company, creating insulin pumps and other diabetes supplies. That's how I pay the bills, but I am also an avid creative writer and poet. In a few months, I will be attending graduate school for Professional Writing.

PHILOSOPHY

I live to stuff as much "life" as I possibly can into my short span before it's all over. We're not here long enough, so there's no time to waste.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Community involvement means many things to me. It means giving where you see cracks and holes in social infrastructure. It means putting time in and doing what's right, even if you're the only one doing it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed with hosts during my travels in Seattle and Portland, and am looking to add more to the list. I would love to host someday when I settle down in a stable living environment.

教，学，和分享

"I have one major rule: Everybody is right. More specifically, everybody—including me—has some important pieces of truth, and all of those pieces need to be honored, cherished, and included in a more gracious, spacious, and compassionate embrace."—Ken Wilber

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I can share my experiences in what few places I've been, specializing in the American West and bourbon country. Oh yes, bourbon is always worth sharing.
