CURRENT MISSION

To help others.

ABOUT ME

I am young professional with alot of great experiences already. I use to intern in the White House Liaison of HHS and with the Auto Task Force within the Dept of Treasury. I have a little brother who is very smart, athletic and one of the best wrestlers playing from Michigan State. My beautiful mom works as a counselor helping others and my cool dad as a Social Worker.

PHILOSOPHY

Let your inner nature shine. Be yourself, work hard and be kind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just started using this tool and really nobody has requested for me to host. I hope to meet new life long friends and help others take shelter. I think its a great idea couch-surfing as there is so many vacant homes and houses/buildings not in use that should be facilitated to a useful purpose for the community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had one great experience Couch Surfing in Shanghai.

Interests

Buddhism, Politics and fun. I studied Buddhism with a man who learned directly from the Dali Lama himself named Guy Newland a professor for my university. After taking several graduate level classes with him and doing some thorough research myself, I really found it a practical philosophy to bend to your own understanding of the universe and the things around us all.

Music, Movies, and Books

Be water my friends, be Water. I really love to read books and memorize useful quotes like the one stated above from Bruce Lee. I read alot of materials from Martial Arts to the current trends in the Dow Jones . I am currently reading "The Russian Bolshevik Revolution," written by Edward Alsworth Ross, 1920. I am interested in all things worldly but also I try to remember that wealth is also valued with internal constructs such as morality and compassion. I love movies but I don't watch much television beside the Big Bang Theory. These days I am learning more about Bee keeping and sustainable practices. Real friends how many of us?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I use to intern in the Department of Treasury and the White House Liaison of Health and Human Services. I use to watch President Obama walk the lawn as I would eat my packed lunch. I once planted flowers in the white house gardens and I even met Timothy Giether, the prior Secretary of the Treasury. I feel grateful of all the outstanding things, I was able to do. In the Treasury, I was on the Auto Task Force working to Bail out the Auto Industry during the recession of 2008/2009.

Teach, Learn, Share

These days I am teaching and sharing my knowledge I've acquired over the short time I'v been on the planet. I've worked for 2 schools in my life, most currently KISQ a Korean International School of Qingdao with some amazing 4th graders. There future will be better than all of ours. I love to learn and still I have so much to know. I feel I would never know enough and I will always be ignorant in some things. I hope to share my time with those who I care about and change those people who need help to change or need advice to get them through a hard time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love helping others and making random events occur from meeting new people or giving a helpful gesture. Some say that the path through inner turmoil begins with a friendly ear. And remember forgiveness is divine but never pay full price for late pizza.
