About Me

I'm a traveler at heart, and have been traveling on my own since I was a teenager. Now I travel mostly for work, but still like to find time to travel for leisure.

I love learning and am a great listener, very easygoing, flexible, and patient. I'm also happy to share my own travel experiences and help out where possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and to get to know new people. I enjoy getting to know a place through the locals there rather than just what the tourist books say.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once ran almost 30 miles to get from one city to another (Tainan to Kaohsiung in Taiwan), making it just in time for dinner with some friends.
