Just got back on the couch surfing circuit! Excuse the bare profile. 用中文交流沒有障礙～

A little about myself — I just moved back stateside after nine years living in China. I’m currently in my old stomping grounds of San Diego, CA — but will be moving out to Washington, DC shortly to start a new chapter in my professional career.

Hoping to meet some likewise driven and interesting folk along the way!
