About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel the world, discover myself and make a positive impact.

ABOUT ME

I live and work in sunny Xiamen, China which is on the SE Coast right across from Taiwan. I work for an American sporting goods company in international supply and have been here for almost one year. I am completely addicted to traveling and learning as much as I can about the world. I am also working on several business ventures in the renewable energy field. If you want to know more, just ask!

PHILOSOPHY

This quote encapsulates my personal mantra on how to approach life on a daily basis:

“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since I do a lot of traveling I am usually not available to host a couch for someone, but if somebody is visiting the city I am in, I am very interested in grabbing drinks and learning about your story and your traveling adventures.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have not had any experiences yet, but I look to have many in the near future.
