CURRENT MISSION

Not to ask, "What if I had...?"

ABOUT ME

Born and raised in Kansas, but doing my best to be a good citizen of the world. I grew up on a farm in a town where everyone knew everyone. I guess that awoke my desire to go places where I know nothing and no one and make every day an experience in learning something new. Most recently, I spent a year teaching English in Germany. I think nothing is more informative than learning someone else's story.

PHILOSOPHY

"Ain't nothin' but a G thing, baby."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love hosting people, but I'm without a couch for the time being. I've always been completely impressed with the people I've hosted and their sense of adventure. Hosting on Couchsurfing is a sort of mini-vacation in the midst of real life that reminds me why I never want to stop going, wherever and whenever possible.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately, few experiences to speak of. I've hosted a few strangers and even more friends.

兴趣

Languages, literature, traditions, people and how they communicate and make sense of the world they live in.

• literature
• languages

音乐、电影和书籍

The Avett Brothers will probably always be my favorite. Love folk, "indie", rock, blues, jazz, and just about anything else a shameless hipster loves.

Currently reading Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel and Die Tribute von Panem (The Hunger Games in German. That makes it okay, right?)

Also a huge fan of nonsensical comedies, esp. the oeuvre of Bill Murray.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I've spent five consecutive nights on sleeper trains in eastern Europe, and I've also played midwife to a cow with birthing problems.
