CURRENT MISSION

The world is out there somewhere and I just wanna find it.

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Minneapolis, Minnesota, my life has been largely around bicycles. But some time around when I started university, I realized that bicycling and traveling go together better than peanut butter and jelly. After my studies, I traveled to China to work as an English teacher, a pretty secure first job, and to start traveling the real world instead of my back yard.
I'm currently working at Ligong University, after a nice 2.5 years at New Oriental. After three years in China, now, I have fallen in love with a part of the world that I once knew nothing about, so, for me right now, I just hope to keep that up.

PHILOSOPHY

Everybody love everybody

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'll participate anyway I can. I've heard about couch surfing for a few years now, but now, after some recommendations, it sounded like a great way to travel and meet people all rolled in to one, so if you'll host me, many thanks and if I can accommodate you, please let me know.

Interests

I love mountain and road cycling, traveling, running, and pretty much anything else outdoors. Indoors with some cards, a book, some beer and music can always sit nice with me, too.

Music, Movies, and Books

Can't say no to 60s/70s classic rock, but pretty much all is good. The Ender's Game Series was a pretty good set of fiction novels.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hey, teach, learn, share... that's what I'm here to do.
