CURRENT MISSION

"to strive, to seek, to find," and not to lose my passport in the process

ABOUT ME

Living in Shanghai, blending in with the locals, and trying to figure out where to focus my energy.

PHILOSOPHY

wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haven't had the privilege to couchsurf yet, but I did attend a Chinese New Year CouchSurfing party in Singapore. The amazingly gracious host invited us into his home even though we were complete strangers--I honestly was blown away by his kindness and sincerity (and party stamina! 5 hours of non-stop celebration is impressive yo). Halfway through the singing, dancing, drinking, eating, and laughing, I knew I had to join this project.

Interests

currently: hand-pulled noodle soup, walking tours, people who play the banjo, rice based economies, scatological humor, etc, etc
