CURRENT MISSION

explore East Asia within 2 years or so.

ABOUT ME

I've found describing yourself is a near impossible thing to do.

I think it best if we meet over Coffee and go on from there.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is what you make out it, so create the life that you want for you. Also, I've found "soul-searching" is often counterproductive. Finally, do not do to others what you do not want done to yourself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have yet to participate in the CouchSurfing project, but I plan on using it mostly to build connections with people from all over the world by living with them for a few days :).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to the Couch Surfing project so have yet to have any true experience with it. However, hopefully I'll find some couches to stay in when I travel to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan within 2 years.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well being in Germany during the 2010 FIFA World Cup has been quite an experience :).

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach what life is really like for a young man in the United States. It is quite different from the image created by the media.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Knowledge of both the English language and American culture, particularly of the Washington DC metro area. I am also educated in History, Politics, International Relations and Current Events. I spend a semester in Germany, and have some knowledge of life in Germany. I can also share my life experience of 27 year old American, which might be quite different from some of the people I will meet via couch surfing.
