CURRENT MISSION

Pursuit of Awesome

ABOUT ME

Over four years of living, working, and traveling abroad, with no end in sight! Currently residing in Beijing and replenishing travel funds.

I like to go out, and I'm usually playing music or going to shows at least a few nights a week. If you want to surf my place, I give preference to musicians ( : let the jam begin! If you aren't a musician, artistically inclined people are welcome (artisans, photographers, writers, traveling circus troupe...surprise me!)
Or, you can just be a totally chill traveler. So basically, everyone is welcome ( :
Also, my Chinese is terrible, so locals who are willing to help would be apprcieated!
+++Just finished a cool adventure through Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia February. I will return home for a visit to California for the first time in 3 years this July. Holy crap, it's been a while!

PHILOSOPHY

Be Excellent to One Another!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm usually just chillin'. Always lots of time to go out and do whatever.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm on couchsuring because I enjoy it and have had mostly positive experiences. But here's what will NOT work...
1. If you live and Beijing, and got kicked out of your apartment, I'm NOT a crash pad. ( : my place is for travelers and visitors, not locals who are hard on their luck.
2. If you do come and have a good time, leave some feedback! I've had several people stay over now who haven't done this and it's kind of annoying.
3. Otherwise, my experiences have been rad. Come on by, bring some beer, and let's rage.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

*Being stuck in a tiny village after a day of rock climbing in Spain. A family with a baby in the back seat picked me up and drove me 25km back to Grenada. When I asked where they lived, they said "Right where we found you!" They saw me walking around from their driveway and they felt bad because it was getting dark and cold. They dropped me off near my hostel, then turned the car around and drove 25km back home!
