I was born in Taiwan, raised in Indiana, Taiwan, and Denmark. I ventured out to the East and Gulf Coasts through two years of AmeriCorps NCCC after high school and have lived in New York City for the past four years working with the homeless. I left that job in May 2013 to start my studies as a Roman Catholic seminarian and left the seminary one year later once I realized I wasn't a good fit. I like food, traveling, and adventure, but perhaps most of all I love sharing in the aspirations and dreams of the people I've had the privilege of walking beside.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One day I hope I will be in a position to host and visit on further trips around the world!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I know it says I'm fluent in Chinese and Danish, but it didn't give the option to say that I WAS fluent. I need practice now.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell a good story, I can cook, I can do a little work around the house, and share in an adventure!
