CURRENT MISSION

To get a final taste of what SE Asia has to offer before I return to the States for good.

ABOUT ME

Name's Christian and I'm an easygoing soul. Not really sure where life is gonna take me but I'm enjoying the ride. I've been able to travel internationally somewhat for the first time in my life the past 2 years and it has really made me realize truly how awesome Earth and its people are. Hoping to build upon those experiences the next couple of months as I embark on a 4-5 month trip around SE Asia.

PHILOSOPHY

Do what makes you happy. You have one life to live; make it count!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I am looking for places to stay on my travels. Hostels are cool but meeting people who actually live at each destination makes for far greater experiences. When I return to America I hope to return the favor.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To be continued...

Interests

I don't have too many exciting interests but they do keep me occupied. I'm an avid board game fan with a deep infatuation with Settlers of Catan. My relationship with that game is a little unhealthy, haha. I love playing sports as well, primarily tennis and basketball. I also spend a decent amount of free time studying Mandarin although it hasn't seemed to do me much good :P

• traveling
• socializing
• sports
• basketball
• tennis

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My favorite traveling experience so far would probably be my scooter trip in Thailand to Erawan National Park. I have never felt so free and joyous. It was an amazing feeling.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well, I like to think I'm a pretty easy-going guy with some cool life experiences to share. I can speak Mandarin at a conversational level and I always enjoy practicing. I also taught English for 3 years and currently really miss teaching my students. Maybe you can help alleviate that sadness haha.
