I'm in HK on a 2 year gig, trying to make the most of 24 short months.

I grew up in Portland, went to school in Missouri, first job in Texas, then Georgia (the peaches one), then Frankfurt (Germany not Kentucky), then DC, then Abu Dhabi, now here.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

some of the best people I've met have been CSers

兴趣

I was a big-time swimmer back in the day, but now I just jump in the pool for me. Less competition-goodness, more zen-goodness. You know how sometimes a little physical effort is the only way to burn off mental stress? That's what swimming is to me.

I spent a lot of my degree studying Journalism, and I really enjoy writing but I've never had to earn my dinner with words. Those skill haven't ever really been tested, but it's still something I really enjoy.
