CURRENT MISSION
I'd like to visit and learn a language from every continent.

PHILOSOPHY
Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Totally down to host people in my little part of the world, and vice versa.
Couchsurfing motivates me to clean my apartment :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I hosted a bunch of people when I lived in Korea and Buffalo, it breaks up the mo otony of day-to-day, and it added to my experience greatly.

Through couchsurfing I've met people from France, Russia, Korea, Poland, Germany, US, Canada, Italy, Portugal, Australia, Netherlands, Chile, Croatia, Colombia, Hungary, Japan, and Argentina.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup. Three weeks of game drives and soccer matches. Went down the world's longest, fastest zip-line. I even pet some lions. A fantastic trip all around.

I also lived in South Korea for two years, and not to sound corny but it really changed my life.
