I am a coffee enthusiast, a cocktail of paradoxes, a professor of international relations, career coach and former diplomat. Love to dance, joke, cook, practice aikido, archery and taekwondo. Priority: Making connection, listening and hearing, having fun and making life today better. After having raised my two daughters, I live solo on Burnaby mountain and enjoy the view of the mountains and the Pacific Ocean from the balcony.

我为什么使用Couchsurfing
During my years of working at the UN, I travelled extensively and visited dozens of countries on all continents except Australia (nothing personal, mates, there are rarely UN conferences down under). This became a habit. You know that airport feeling when you are with a boarding pass in your hand, heading to another world. Authentic smaller places are better than famous tourist attractions. Meeting locals and making real connections is even better.
音乐、电影与书籍
Eclectic musical taste. Everything except the hysterical jazz and horror films.
