I'm 27 & living in Kunming, Yunna, China teaching English and learning Chinese.

I enjoy the great outdoors, traveling, photography, and good people.

I joined couch surfing in 2009 while living in the states, but I never actually took advantage of the couch surfing community. Now that I am globe hopping, I feel having the opportunity to stay with someone who knows the ins and outs of whatever city we're in, would be a richer experience.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couch surfing seems like a more authentic way to spend a night in a city/town/village/etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

Paulo Coelho, Tom Robbins, Dave Eggers, Christopher Moore... ayoooh!

& music, just about anything! I enjoy classic rock deep in my bones, and have a true love for world music. I can listen to blue-grass all day and have a soft spot for Aretha Franklin and the blues. Some old school hip hop always has its place, of course.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've scuba dived in Komodo, Indonesia during a morning feeding of a couple dozen grey tip reef sharks.... and kept my cool haha
