CURRENT MISSION

In search of a new mission, something that satisfies my creative side more.

ABOUT ME

I'm an INFP/INTP personality. I'm pretty chill and enjoy a good conversation as much as a good live band. I'm always up for a new food experience.

I’ve worked in IT, taught English in China, and most recently I’ve been a bicycle mechanic for about 11 years. I’ve been working towards freelance copy editing lately.

I’ve always been passionate about writing-mostly poetry-and creating.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to travel light and keep an eye on my priorities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not able to host at the moment but I'm up for meeting new people. If you're pedaling through and need help with your bike, I can help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
