CURRENT MISSION

Living my dreams, not dreaming my life

ABOUT ME

I'm a dreamer but know dreaming is not enough. One must also do. I am experiencing and enjoying the marvels of the world through travels, food, and conversations in order to better understand people and how the world and societies work. Currently traveling the world doing some NGO work on the way.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling now and seeking more couches.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was in Denmark for a conference and a friend was studying abroad in Austria. He came up to Copenhagen and couchsurfed. I tagged along with him to a traditional Christmas dinner with his Danish CS host and her friends. We had an incredible evening.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Sitting like Buddha on a remote, nearly isolated beach on the east side of Ko Chang island in Thailand. The rain pouring down, the waves creeping up around me, the lightening in the distance, and the cool breeze around me was the most surreal, peaceful, and real moment of my life.

教，学，和分享

I enjoy learning languages and cooking as I think they are the best insight into a culture. Wanting to learn some yoga.
