CURRENT MISSION

seeing and eating new things

ABOUT ME

I'm a huge food nut! I got sick of grad school and took off for China to teach English. I just finished a year teaching in Haerbin.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined awhile back but then ended up without a couch and not travelling, but I'm on the road again and hope to be a surfer in Asia and hoster when I get back on my feet in the States.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never been couch surfing. Just heard about it, but I'm a broke student and I'm trying to plan a trip for next year. Couch surfing could definitely make it more fun!
