CURRENT MISSION

Make a contribution to my species

ABOUT ME

I like to think of myself as a global citizen. We have so many opportunities to experience and learn from the diversity that the world that has to offer, and I try to take advantage of that whenever I can. I'm also 5'10 and a half (179cm)... so don't be surprised when we meet and I'm taller than you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted couch surfers in 3 different cities that I've lived in. I've also surfed a couple of times, and always had really wonderful experiences! I really enjoy being involved with such a great community, because I meet so many like-minded people who love to explore the world.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I studied Tai Chi at a monastery on a mountain in Yunnan, China for 2 weeks. No electricity, trough toilets, nothing to do but exercise, read, eat Buddhist vegetarian food, and think. Part of the best trip of my life.

I also repelled down a 35-meter gushing waterfall in Dalat, Vietnam. And almost killed myself while doing it.

And I won a reality TV show in China.
