Howdy howdy, raised in the classic white, conservative, Christian suburbia where it seemed, "if you ain't white you ain't right". However, after breaking out and getting that first stamp on my passport, I needed more; my girlfriend and I just finished a 15 week trip around Asia and I decided that still isn't enough. For the next year I will be teaching English in Shenzhen, China. Looking forward to being outside of the States, but also to really experience life in another country and learn Mandarin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've started traveling more after I finished university so I figured I might try to find a couch to sleep on if I ever need one.
