Former online ESL teacher and teacher in Taiwan and Yunnan, artist, writer, and avid learner of everything. I'm usually living in Yunnan Province, China. I visited Hanoi and Chiangmai in 2019. In 2020 I stayed in Bangkok during lockdown, then lived in Ao Nang, Krabi. After that was Indonesia; first Papua, then Bali and Lombok. I returned to Thailand and stayed in Chiang Mai for a while, then moved to Lijiang and taught elementary school. Last year I co-founded an interior design company in Kunming, and am working on a project that will invite artists from around the world to live and do their work in China.
Current Mission: Read books. Walk dogs. Subvert fascism. ABOUT US: A couple of avid Karaoke enthusiasts/book lovers looking to travel and meet interesting people all over the world. Moved from America to Turkey in August 2011 so we could explore all over. Patrick was a high school teacher at a boarding school and Eileen worked at an organization for education policy research in Turkey. In 2014 we moved back to the good 'ol US of A so we could move forward in our careers. We're really social and love to laugh, so our favorite pastime is usually hanging out with friends, anytime anywhere. We love our dog, Tootsie, so dog lovers are especially welcome to come stay with us.
I used to full time RV’d for the past 6 years. I now live in Boston I live with my tiny dog, she is hypoallergenic and doesn’t shed. She 14lbs. Hoping to meet lots of cool people! To live life and have no regrets. To make life count . ABOUT ME: Like to have fun. Always positive.
I am very chill, kind, compassionate, quiet yet social, respectful, tolerant. Politically I lean Marxist, spiritually I lean Buddhist. I am a former peace activist and educator. I believe that as a human being, it is my responsibility to act in opposition to oppression and injustice. You must be at least 25 years old to stay at my house. I prefer to host guests who embody the Couchsurfing spirit. I have hosted over 20 guests of various age, gender, and ethnicity, some traveling solo and some with a mate. Almost all have been great guests and wonderful people with whom I have hung out, had great conversations, shared meals, gone to concerts, and learned from. I give my guest(s) my bedroom and I sleep on the couch. Bedroom is on the second floor and bathroom is on the first floor (which can be an issue for some). My house is small but cozy and comfortable, built in 1880, in a great neighborhood called Jamaica Plain that is very LGBTQ+ friendly. It is safe and easily accessible to the city center via public transit. There are cafes and restaurants close by as well as lots of green space. I worked most of my life in the education field, primarily doing research. I am now training to become a peer addiction recovery coach and I work part-time in the field. I am humble and grateful. I practice service to others, including as a foster parent of an 18-year-old Dominican boy. I am a member of a local peer recovery support center (I am sober) where I facilitate a weekly Buddhist addiction recovery meeting.
