ABOUT ME

I'm very much a go with the flow type of person, curious, and open to the unusual.

PHILOSOPHY

Since I haven't quite figured out my own call to happiness, I spend my days trying to make those of others a bit better

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Mostly through meet-ups. Trusting a total stranger's personal preferences is what makes this kind of travel interesting beyond belief, and a host's satisfaction worth the effort.

Music, Movies, and Books

If I had to choose one of each... Movie: Babel. Author: Haruki Murakami. Music: K-pop

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cirque du Soleil- I didn't understand what it meant to cry at the beauty of something until I saw one of their shows.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always happy to do language exchanges with English, German, Slovak, or Mandarin Chinese. In return, I love to hear about the history and culture of people's country's, so as to go home a little less ignorant about the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

an attentive ear; travel tips for China; pros and cons of living in paradise (aka Taiwan); methods for identifying the perfect parkour spot

Countries I’ve Lived In

China, Germany, Slovakia, United States
