About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet good people, see the world, have fun.

ABOUT ME

I'm trying to spend most of my life right now living in different places, learning different languages, making new friends and eating new things. I'd like to see as much as I can and I have no plans.

Well that's not completely true. As far as I've figured you can go to a lot of places and teach English as an excuse for a job. So that's what I've been wasting my time doing recently.

PHILOSOPHY

I do what makes me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found an apartment! I just need to find out a few more things about Taipei and then I'll feel good about being able to take people out!

I also need to buy a mattress for people to sleep on - kind of important.

Soon enough.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm in the process of accumulating some experience.

Music, Movies, and Books

These change so often that it's pointless to list anything. I tend to love things intensely for a very short period of time and then move on to something else.

I do like talking about these though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a semester on a boat going from port to port and seeing many different places in the world for short times. I thought that was pretty amazing.

Diving in El Nido, skydiving in Boulder next to the Rockies, touring the Yunnan Province public education system as guests of the ministry, teaching English to amazing students in Yangshuo and Sichuan, Carnival in Salvador, walking around Angkor Wat, spending Christmas in Colombia and tripping fairly hard in a graveyard in Prague.
