I have a quiet but thoughtful personality. I love listening to other perspectives and understanding different ways of thinking, enhancing rather than compromising my own. I am very flexible and laid back. I love life and want to get as many experiences as I can out of it and find ways to give back as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel! One day I hope to be a host as well, but currently I can't because I live in on-campus housing.

Interests

More than anything else I love learning new things. I'm currently avoiding "real life" (e.g. settling down, working 9 to 5, buying a house and car) by working as an English teacher in China. I love learning about and experiencing other cultures. Right now I'm learning French!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Stumbled across the Great Wall of China! I was traveling with some friends near Qingdao and were hiking a small mountain when we saw the Wall in the distance. We walked over and climbed on an old, unrestored section with no tourists! It was breathtaking.
