Currently studying for the CPA exam via Becker Live. I travel to Dallas every weekend for one night so I may take the class on Saturday. Studying for this exam feels like the hardest thing I've had to do so far in my life.

I play Ultimate twice a week. The sport is fluid and to me brilliant. Reminds me much of Soccer but with a little more movement. Great spectator sport too.

Board Games too are great to play. Twice a year I go to a Board Game Convention in Dallas, TX. Roughly 3000 people show up which makes for great mingling. The board game library doubles the people offering a great diversity of play. Board Games for me are like little worlds with a new language to learn. Good for the mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hotels in Dallas are expensive. I literally just need a place to crash and then I am gone in the morning. Once my classes are over I will most likely use Couchsurfing to visit some new places yet visited and hopefully meet some great people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in China for a year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I may be able to teach you something about budgeting/financing (number stuff) if you are not too familiar. If you are interested in food I could cook some Italian dishes I learned while running a restaurant.

I am currently learning to play the piano with much delight.

I have some fun stories of humility while traveling in China as well as just me being awkward from time to time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Bookkeeping/Budgeting tips, Dark humor, board game player, I'm pretty easy going to be honest. Potentially up for anything so long as I can get to bed in time for class the next morning.
