Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Part of the fun of traveling is meeting new people and listening to their stories. You can't always do that in a hotel, or even a hostel. I'm looking forward to learning as much as I can and giving back.

Music, Movies, and Books

The Kpop bug bit me in Korea. Love Shogun by James Clavell. All of Ryan Holiday's books are fascinating.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I can't pick one, but these are my favorites: Standing face-to-face with North Korean soldiers at the DMZ; camping on a virgin beach in the Philippines; giving dirty toasts at a Colombian wedding in Bogota; standing beneath the fresco of the Sistine Chapel; skinny dipping with plankton at midnight on the southern coast of Korea; relaxing in northern Kyoto hot springs in December; nearly getting into a bar fight with a scottsman in the Isle of Skye; learning to gut tuna on the docks of Little Aboco in the Bahamas; giving mud baths to elephants in Chiang mai; attending the State of the Union in Washington DC
