ABOUT ME
I am currently living in Thailand working for a national/human security NGO. Previous to that, I worked as an English teacher in the small rural town of U Thong. I am a big believer in world peace, vegatarianism, laughing and having a good time. I also enjoy movies, the theater, any type of markets, shopping and all things vintage, helping others, the beach and summer, art of all kinds, having adventure, and learning about entrepreneurial ideas
PHILOSOPHY
"You may never know what results come from your actions. But if you do nothing, there will be no result."
"The first key to greatness is to be in reality what we appear to be."
"I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-- I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Regrettably, I don't have a couch to offer at the moment.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couch surfing experience was Budapest and it was wonderful. I also had an extremely unique experience because I was trying to find a way to stay in Amsterdam for five weeks before I came to Thailand without completely breaking the bank. I was able to find someone through couch surfing and lived with them for that time.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I absolutely love all traveling and if you get me started on these stories I will not stop. So if you want that, feel free to ask :)
Teach, Learn, Share
Very interested in learning just about anything. I can teach a little on middle east conflict, wardrobe advice, problems with the media, how to touch your tounge to your nose. Also since moving to Thailand, about the Thai education system and maybe even a little bit of Thai.
