ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Oregon, USA, but I have lived in China for the past couple of years. I've taught English two of the four "furnaces of China" (Chongqing and Wuhan), but hopefully I will move somewhere a bit cooler soon. I'm trying to travel and work in every continent. So far I've only been to N. America, Europe, and a bit of E. Asia. Ultimately, I'd like to find work in development.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is pretty big - I would like to see it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted and surfed. My favorite part about hosting is that the guests are always stoked about everything because they are having the time of their lives traveling.

Interests

I enjoy eating hot pot, playing ultimate frisbee, and dying my hair.
