Hello! I was born in Beijing, raised in Ottawa Canada and worked my entire adult life in San Francisco California.

I love to travel and am taking 2019 to explore different global markets and learn how the world works in the economics and tech areas.

Just in 2019 I've been to New Zealand, Australia, China, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Croatia, Greece, Egypt, and Israel. I'll be heading to Jordan, Kenya, South Africa, and possibly Morocco before the end of my trip.

I've been reading, meditating, running marathons (Honolulu, Paris, and SF). I used to be a competitive figure skater.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been wanting to try this for a long time (registered in 2013) but never seemed to do so!
