I am a very personable individual. I like to be engaged in all kinds of activities from reading a book to going out rock climbing or to a rock concert. I value compassion above all else and love experiencing life with all the great people I meet along my way.
So whether we are scaling a rock wall, dancing the night away, cooking a fanastic meal together, chilling with a beer in a jazz club, or laying around swapping stories: I'm in.
If you are a surfer seeking a place to crash, please let me know what things you really are into so I can give you the best experience possible ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I enjoy traveling and feel the best way to truly know any place is to try and see it through a native's perspective. I also believe in a global community and look forward to hosting people whenever possible.

Interests

I have passions for music (all genres), hiking, food(cooking and consuming ;), and above all -meeting all kinds of people and hearing their stories and learning just a little bit more about the vast, cultural world we live in.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music is a tough one... I would probably go with jazz/blues but I literally love listening to anything and everything.
Favorite movie- Good Will Hunting.
Books- This is another difficult choice and varies depending on the day. Overall, I like to reference back to my childhood days and say 'The BFG', by Roald Dahl.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing that I've done was teach English to North Korean refugee children.

I also am more than willing to share my experiences teaching English/working with non-profits and whatever cultural understandings I have gained along my way :)
