CURRENT MISSION

Understand the world.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from college and am currently teaching at an international school in Shanghai China.
I love adventuring and trying new things. My whole life I have been active in a variety of sports, from soccer to racket sports--currently I play Ultimate Frisbee as much as I can.
I consider myself a very easy going and laid back guy. Being generally optimistic and cheerful makes it easy to have fun and enjoy everything I do.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have crashed on many couches, floors, lawns and lazy-boy chairs with friends, friends of friends, and random strangers.
I have never had a poor experience, most everyone who opens their door is warm and friendly to a smiling face.

Interests

I really like doing sports in any form notably; Ultimate Frisbee, soccer, tennis, badminton, as well as any outdoor sports such as kayaking, biking and hiking.

I'm also a big reader though I have been slacking on reading book recently. I enjoy reading the news, analysis of politics and world events, and general social reading.

Recently I've realized I get the most enjoyment out of seeing new things. Since I've been living in China I try to go about my life as "never go the same way twice" and try to see something new everyday.
