About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn as much as I can from where ever I may be.

ABOUT ME

I am always up for an adventure. I like learning and experiencing new things and making friends wherever I go. I smile a lot, I laugh even more. I love music and movies and books- and I will be taking all three on my travels. I am a dog person but any animal is cool with me. I can be forgetful at times and I am horrible with birthdays- but I try. I like rain, sun, snow, wind- and I missed snow this year. I think the best things life has to offer are chances and options- and if you look hard enough you will find this in any situation.

PHILOSOPHY

My personal philosophy? Open your eyes. Take a real look at the world. We tend to get too caught up in the trudge of every day living that we miss those beautiful, little things that fly on by. Your life is yours, live it how you want.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted a few couch surfers while I lived in Korea, and my partner in crime and I think it's high time we start hosting again.

Interests

Reading, yoga, meditation, drawing, surfing, writing, learning the languages of music and Chinese, movies, TV shows, podcasts, music, rainy days inside, sunny days at the beach, exploring this island of Taiwan, driving my scooter around, checking out local markets- finding my groove in this new city.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything and everything. Currently catching up on Game of Thrones, but I try to devour books as often as possible. Right now I'm living in the world of The Princess Bride, after jumping from Robert A. Heinlein's A Stranger in a Strange Land.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sunrise over The Sahara.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my experiences of traveling throughout Asia solo, and getting into the realm of ESL teaching in both Korea and Taiwan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share the city I love and live in, talk about art and life, experiences and stories.
