Hi guys! I grew up in a small town on the central coast of California, went to school in Washington state, lived and taught English in Taiwan for 3 years, lived in Philadelphia for 2 years, taught English in Colombia for a year, then moved to Honolulu!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I took a road trip around the states in fall 2012 and did a bit of couch surfing. I love it because you are instantly paired up with a local and don't have to travel as a tourist!

Interests

Sports, music, and food are probably top 3. Honorable mentions include making top 3 lists, traveling, laughing with friends, watching TV/movies, video games, and I do enjoy a drink/toke from time to time.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like good music/movies of any genre but here are my top 3...

...music: Third Eye Blind, The Beach Boys, and Norah Jones

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The top 3 are skydiving in New Zealand, watching the sunrise over the Himalayas, and watching my tuk-tuk driver get punched in the face in India.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sports, so we can play and both improve (my top 3 are soccer, tennis and basketball but I'll do anything). I know a little Chinese but I can't read or write. Also, if you really want, we can talk global socioeconomics and/or politics. I like to keep an open mind, as most everyone has valuable insight to add.
