CURRENT MISSION

Finding my place in ministry to the Christian church.

ABOUT ME

I love traveling and learning about other cultures, whether that looks like traveling out of country or visiting different sub-cultures in cities. I'm a minimalist when it comes to traveling and I'm striving to incorporate that more into my everyday living. I really like to just go out and get lost to discover something new. I also love to hear about peoples strange and wonderful lives - preferably over a beer or whiskey.

PHILOSOPHY

"Seeking the forest for the trees." "It's for the sake of the question, not the answer."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My "experience" is traveling the world with no expectations of whether I will get a bed or a tile floor or have to sleep outside in a tent or hammock.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on the World Race: An 11 month missions trip to 11 countries, with 39 other people. Lending a helping hand to various NGOs and missionaries in each country while living in close community with fellow believers.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Biblical Truth - Christianity is not what the average person (even "christians") thinks it is.

Learn: Any Skill trade. Love learning new things: Scientific, Technology, Philosophy, Theology, anything.

Share: Food - I love to cook and better yet, I love to cook for other people. I get my introverted time while I cook and my extroverted time by sharing a meal with people I love.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Responsibility: I love to clean and cook. Depending on the situation I can help out with errands and chores and I'm pretty good at odd jobs. Let's Talk and I can probably help out.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Dominican Republic, Ethiopia, Haiti, Jordan, Laos, Malaysia, Philippines, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Swaziland, Thailand, Viet Nam
