About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My life goal is to travel to every country on the planet.

ABOUT ME

I'm quite outgoing, adventurous, and laid back. I'm a teacher to roughly 60 nutty little Chinese children. They're adorable. I like reading, swimming, hiking, working out, studying Chinese, and going out with friends to do pretty much anything.

PHILOSOPHY

There is only one person you have to live with for the rest of your life, one person from cradle to grave, one person that you have to see every morning and night. That person deserves to be happy, deserves to feel special, and deserves to know their own value.. so spoil yourself, give yourself compliments, and most importantly follow through on promises to yourself and be reliable for yourself. From that first moment until your last breath you are your one true constant.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have not yet hosted, but am very willing too, I also only have two couchsurfing experiences thus far in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but they were both great!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Hong Kong :)

Was great, my host took my roommate and I to the Ozone bar, the peak, Lan Kwai Feng bar district, and told us the greatest places to go out on our own as well.

Taiwan <3
Don took me to the Ximen area, we had hotpot with his Dutch friend, smoked shisha (for his first time), and played cards at night in a small restaurant. It was a great visit, laid back and much fun!

Interests

I'm a teacher; I like reading and linguistics.. I love food and the outdoors. Culture and photography are on the top of my list.
