CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to Taiwan. Getting to know the country.

ABOUT ME

If CS says I log in from somewhere other then Shanghai, it's just because of my VPN to get around the Great Firewall of China.
-------------------------------------------------------

I get myself into a lot of crazy situations because I prefer to say Yes rather than No.

Lived in Columbus Ohio for most of my life until I started traveling. Have spent some time in random countries around the world. Then Shanghai, China for 5 years and now I live in Taipei, Taiwan.

I've been working in the alcohol industry for about 5 years. Sales, - Brand Management - Business Development blah blahblah. Basically I sling Booze.

I've done a lot of really ridiculous things and I've got some really ridiculous stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I guess I've been a member for a really long time now: hosting, surfing, events, meet-ups, coffees, drinks, and most importantly randomness.

Most now though I only have time and space for meet-ups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I have loved every minute of my experiences couch surfing. It was a godsend when I joined. Can't say enough good about it.
