ABOUT ME

I'm a world traveler afflicted with wanderlust since the age of 23.

After being born and raised in Washington DC, I began down the career path in my early 20's until breaking free and becoming self employed. My life hasn't been the same since, as I've been aspiring to visit more countries, interact with a greater diversity of people, and acquire life skills.

I'm a graphic designer, web developer and DJ and I've been living in Asia for 10 years. I created a website about the city that I live in called Chengdu Living to share the experience of living in the capital of Sichuan Province with readers from around the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just begun to use Couch Surfing, but I've stayed with a few people while road tripping across the United States and have had an incredible time so far.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Stayed in a loft in Chicago, and 100-year old house in Cleveland. Great times!

Here's a list of the awesome people I've hosted in Chengdu:
