ABOUT ME

Now I am leaving again to explore more of Asia I worked as a journalist, delivery driver, event planner, and tutor before i left for asia. Eventually I want to know a little about everything and be an expert in nothing. Currently i'm a nurse practitioner student at Johns Hopkins

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Have stayed with a few people in Latvia, Poland, Mongolia, and Russia, India, and have had a great time. They were very friendly and helpful. This site has been great.
Interests
name it, I guess. But recently, the great plains, hiking, and new food. Also love music of all kinds, but recently listening to 70s psych rock, old country/folk, death metal, and soul music. Ive been cooking a lot of korean food and recently hooked up my old sega genesis, so there's that.

Music, Movies, and Books
I have been reading travel novels and Sci Fi as of late, but just finished a good Irish spy novel and a book about olympic rowing. Listening recently to Sam Cooke, Sir Lord Baltimore, Albert King, Debussy, Zounds, The Sword, Frank Zappa, Temptations, and Etta James.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
climbed mt fuji, published some writing, saved a life, seen elephants have sex, hiked the great wall (amazing? or great?), fed a crocodile, performed music, ridden and/or eaten a camel, horse, elephant, dog, ostrich, donkey, and dolphin and hated all of it
Teach, Learn, Share
Some emergency medicine. Ive tutored in a few different science subjects. I have taught writing and English. I would like to learn history, and the location of a good mountain and restaurant. I can teach basketball and soccer to people who are not as good as me. I want to learn why other people think differently.
