About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel as much as possible

ABOUT ME

I've done a fair bit of traveling but I'm no where near done! The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page. I am highly interested in culture, language, food and music.

Living in Ningbo, China now, current leg of my journey. Not sure where I'm headed next but I'm attempting to balance a career with travel, a hard task.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what you want and never apologize

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
