Currently live in Jakarta, Indonesia. Originally from USA.

Lived previously in Hong Kong, New York and Seattle. Spent a lot of time traveling throughout Southeast Asia and China.

Perpetually optimistic, slightly cocky, and persistence all wrapped around my love for spontaneity and serendipity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have only a limited use of Couchsurfing, but all great experiences. I have hosted, been hosted, been helped in tough circumstances, and been extended the kindest of courtesies.

Music, Movies, and Books

All my books are recommendations from friends or swaps. I'm currently reading The Goldfinch. For films, I'm into the Prestige, something indie, or epics like LOTR.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed onto an iron ore train and traveled through the fringes of the Sahara.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, art/architecture, general knowledge of electronics/cameras, mapmaking, graphics. That type of stuff.

I have a great knowledge of Hong Kong, general political knowledge of the area, and enthusiasm.
