I was born and raised in a small forest town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I was an exchange student in 新竹 Taiwan for one year. I spent the last three years in Los Angeles California. I am currently studying at 台大 back in Taiwan. When I return the states I will move to an earthship in Taos New Mexico where I am excited to start hosting.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new here! Show me how great the couchsurfing community is!

Throughout all of my travels, I have learned that the finest memories are the memories shared. If you've seen or read Into the Wild, you'll know what I mean. I am currently living in Taiwan and want to explore Asia before I go back to the United States.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love surprises. The unexpected. The unconventional. Anything that breaks my previous perception of reality or society, I love. I love music that switches meters, books with hard-hitting endings and movies with enchanting scenery.
Tame Impala, Florence and the Machine, Iron and Wine, 1984, Harry Potter, Princess Mononoke.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What I Can Share with Hosts

Fun beautiful perspective and warm good energies. I could teach you swing dancing. I should show you hula hoop dancing. I always bring my external harddrive with 8,000+ songs if you like my taste in music.
