CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Grew up in Minnesota, USA and worked up north for six years which gave me a passion for the outdoors and traveling. I was studying Outdoor Education at a university in Northern Wisconsin before I got taken over by wanderlust. So I dropped out of school and left every comfort I had in the states and moved to Australia and stayed in that area for 2.5 years.
Currently back in America, and hoping to move down south to become a Chef...I have had enough of the cold here in the north and I just love to live in hot places! I have been working in kitchens since I was 14 years old, and spent the last fourteen months living with a Chef in New Zealand, which has certainly inspired me. Here's to a future of good food and good company!

PHILOSOPHY

I am stealing this philosophy from a writer because I don't think I could put it any more eloquently:
"The core of man's spirit comes from new experiences"
This is what I believe and hope to live in for my entire life.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently using this website as a means to network with other travelers and eventually help me move down to the southern part of the United States.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I ended up a staying with this amazing older woman in her holiday home on Waiheke island when I first moved to NZ...she treated me to two weeks of gourmet food and wine and then hooked me up with a Chef I eventually worked for.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Dropped out of school, left every comfort I had in the states and hopped on a plane down Australia. Best decision I have ever made :)

教，学，和分享

Being only a youg'n, I don't think I have much wisdom to impart but always remember to love people. You meet everyone for a reason and everyone teaches you something either about life or about yourself, so here is my advice: be open and listen!
