Hi! I am an artist in, of, for, from life. I am fascinated by social relationships, nature, and the world.

I created (and am still adding to) my own list of fascinating, bizarre questions for us to start an extraordinary conversation. I am always down for a deep conversation!

I graduated from a college that traveled to a different country and city each semester. I’ve been traveling for the most part of my adult life. Right now I am home-based in Shanghai, living in a really cool co-living community of 20 people. Through this community, I’m connected to a huge web of interesting, decentralized spaces and communities all across China (and even worldwide) that I can introduce you to!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to live non-capitalistically, where we share, barter, and engage in alternative lifestyles. And I love making genuine connections with other human beings—it just so happens that I have met nothing less than amazing people on couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived with a Tibetan family for 20 days. It snowed in May. I ate fresh yogurt, and it is the best food I have ever had. I cleansed my soul. Then I went home to learn to make clothes on a sewing machine from my grandma.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach me anything! How to build a boat. How to farm. Cool drumming rhythms. An indigenous language. Your favorite recipe.
I can teach you guitar, cool language facts, creative writing games, a little bit of queer theory, and cool Coliving communities in China.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Chinese cuisine for your stomach. Paintings and drawings for your wall. Songs I wrote, if there is a guitar. And last but not least, stories!
