CURRENT MISSION: to connect

ABOUT ME: I'm on a life-long journey of faith... praying, waiting, listening, responding, serving, loving, trusting, processing, and growing. I'm relatively introspective, observant, peaceful, contemplative, deliberate, respectful, compassionate, sensitive, and mindful. I'm also technologically and directionally savvy and good at organizing, project managing, and figuring out stuff.

PHILOSOPHY: love your enemies. don't judge others. life is a journey. everyone has a story.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I enjoy meeting new people from all walks of life and hearing their stories. I also like helping people out by giving them a free place to crash for a night or two.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE: Beyond CouchSurfing, I've been hosted and I've hosted more people than I can count... as a Rotary International Exchange Student in Brazil, on a study abroad programs to Ecuador and again to Brazil, traveling through Western Europe, AND throughout my 'round the world journey with my sister ('07-'08).
