About Me

MANY APOLOGIES: CURRENTLY I'M RELOCATING, BUT I WILL START HOSTING AS SOON AS I SETTLE DOWN. :)

I consider myself an internationalist. To me internationalism means the common humanity that connects us together is much stronger than false divisions in nationality, culture and race that separate us.

In addition to seeing myself as a world citizen, however, I am also constantly facinated by the diversity among us. Through travelling, I wish to draw closer, learn more and better understand each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2009, I went on a 24-day bicycle trip along the G108 highway in China. With my four other friends, we covered 2166 km from Chengdu in Sichuan to Lasa in Tibet, climbing over more than ten peaks rising above 4000-5000 m on our way.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach language, share all that I have (though not much), help with cleaning, cooking, or anything (just ask!), in return for an opportunity to make new friends and learn about your life, your stories and your culture :)
