Hi! I'm looking to meet new people, travel and have fun in the process. After living abroad in Ecuador for 2 years, and South Korea for 3, I'm currently living in China. I hope to see as much as the world as possible and experience local culture and meet local people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make travel more enjoyable.

Interests

I love camping and riding motorcycles but haven't had the chance to do so in China yet. I like to take the path less travelled and see more rural areas of Korea. I also like heading to the beach (which sadly isn't great in China) any chance I get.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to count.

Into the Wild, Fight Club, Boyhood
The Catcher in the Rye, 1984, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
The Beatles, Radiohead, The xx, Alt-j, 60s-70s rock

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A week-long tour around The Galapagos Islands in 2011 staying on a boat. Possibly the most beautiful and fascinating place I've ever been.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teaching is my job, but I learn at work every day.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm into my 8th year teaching ESL now. I've taught in South America, Korea and China and am happy to share tips about living and working abroad. I'm a polite guest, happy to help out my host.

I live with my wife in Beijing.
