About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have a good time with great people

ABOUT ME

Living in Taipei because I recently graduated from uni with a degree in Political Science. Learning some chinese ever so slowly because it's pretty interesting and a fun language to talk in. One day will go to grad school for international relations, preferably in another country to get another perspective than my home country.

PHILOSOPHY

To Each Their Own. Your lifestle is your own and not mine, so who am I to say how you should live it. Enjoy what you have while you have it because it might not be there long. Be open to new ideas and thoughts, and be prepared to be wrong because that is how you learn.

Happiness is only real when shared-- AST "Into the Wild"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've met a few people through couchsurfing, and so far all of the experiences have been positive. I think this adds to the overall MO of the site.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have never done couchsurfing myself, but have friends who have all had positive experiences with CS.

Interests

I enjoy being with friends in almost any manner. I don't really care what i'm doing as long as it is with good company. I enjoy taking life as it comes but also grabbing for what I want. To have experiences are that much better with people areound you. Music, video games, sleeping, helping out friends, making people laugh

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Is so far being here in Taiwan and living here.....it's quite awesome the people I've met and the experiences so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe you can teach, learn, and share by being who you are. For everyone is different and I feel I have learned a lot from just knowing peoples understanding of the world.

Learning doesn't come from school; learning comes from ones drive to learn.

Countries I’ve Visited

China, Japan, Taiwan, Thailand

Countries I’ve Lived In
