After impulsively quitting my job as a restaurant manager to go on an expedition across Europe, I quickly realized that my addiction to traveling is going to cost me more than what my almost non-existing pay will cover. so here I am. In return for a carpet, floor or couch, I will provide hours of entertaining stories, cook yummy non-traditional meals, tell you the difference between different investment strategies and why you should care and teach English and/or Chinese (I'm working on French too but... it's a definite work in progress). I'll also be opening my place up for couch surfing, just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After my trip to Europe, I feel like traveling is something I would like to do for a long time. Couchsurfing just seems to be the best way to do so while also making friends. I'm also open to host and return the favor!

Interests

I have this list of things that I want to do before I die. Every thing I've done, I crossed off, and on every birthday, I add 10 more. I have a lot of hobbies and interests, but I think experiencing everything I can imagine is my interest. The world is HUGE. I can't possibly list my interests one by one.

• music
• visual arts
• travel
• trash tv
