CURRENT MISSION

To practice the art of living

ABOUT ME

(We are in Shanghai... If it says we have logged in from the USA it is because we are using a VPN and this allows us to access websites from the USA and temporarily changes our login location)

Our passions run deep, and we try to make the most of what life has to offer ! We believe that hard work and good fun are a part of life and neither should be neglected for too long.

We like art, sports and all kinds of music. We both are open minded , and love learning. We ride our bikes around Shanghai and are happy to loan a bike to you while we are at work to go for a spin around the city... or hopefully we can all go for a ride together.

Gabby recently started the couch to 5k program so a few times a week she is out and running in the early morning. I'm happy to have you join me, though I'm still jogging at a pretty slow pace right now... You will see people practicing tai chi in Jing'an park - for sure.

PHILOSOPHY

Practice the art of living, get what you give. Being nice goes a long way!

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We have both hosted, met up with, and surfed. We love couch surfing and building connections while we are traveling or with other travelers. We don't really ever attend couchsurfing events.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's an amazing opportunity to connect with people from all over the world. All of our experiences have been positive, and we want to continue to meet more people!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Most recently we loved our trip to the Great Wall of China. I honestly hadn't expected it to be so beautiful and such a fun experience. We took a ski lift up and got to sled down the mountain.

教，学，和分享

We are happy to teach you anything we know how to do... Since you're visiting us in Shanghai, perhaps we can teach you how to bargain at the fake market... we have gotten really good at this over the past six months and it is something we love doing. We can also teach you some photography DSLR tips, or how to edit on Final Cut Pro... stuff like that. Really, we are happy to teach anything we can.

Share:
We love traveling and have seen and experienced many fun moments. Let's share our experiences together. We are happy to hear all about your tales over a drink.

Learn:
Neither of us are good cooks, but we make attempts. We love when our guests can cook. If you can teach us something about your culture, or a word in your language... feel free to. Otherwise, no pressure, I am sure just by hanging out we can learn something from you.
