Currently on the doctor grind, which doesn't leave much time for traveling. Hoping to make a big trip to Europe for the first time in April 2017. Will be selling fruitcakes and pretzels to make the required small fortune.

I spent a year in Macau, China on a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship. It was an amazing experience and one I don't think I'll ever get to relive. But I'll make the most of what I've been blessed with.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

I've hosted and surfed a fair amount, but am by no means an expert. I've always enjoyed my experiences and love knowing that I now have friends all over the world.

Interessen

I enjoy playing the saxophone and guitar. Basketball is a hobby and I'm hoping to make it to the NBA (jk). I'm trying to work on my Chinese, but more often than not I just Reddit.

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Hiked the Corcovado in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (the mountain leading to the Christ statue). The view was unbelievable. Also, countless near death experiences. Most notably almost getting hit by the tram that we refused to take.

Was ich mit Gastgebern teilen kann

I can show you how to do proper CPR. You never know when you'll need it.
