I'm currently living in Los Angeles after leaving the Army last month. I love to travel, meet new friends, and try out new things. I am half Taiwanese and would love to practice some of my Mandarin Chinese with others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel is life, but it's usually very expensive. Looking to meet new people to share new experiences and life with.
