Overview
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
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm looking forward to giving back to the CS community. I've been privileged to host a few times since coming to China, I'm sure there will be more opportunities on the horizon.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I surfed my way through South East Asia and met some wonderful people. I can't wait to meet my next host!
