About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Educating youth through my private school

ABOUT ME

I am a husband and father of two children living in Dongguan city. My current mission is to build a progressive, new age private school where Chinese youth can develop into tomorrows leaders. We embrace creativity, open-mindedness, intercultural exchange, and community building. To further our goals, we have built a small organic farm where we grow fruits and vegetables that make up much of our families, and ultimately our students, daily food.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is education.

The world is a village.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For the past 2 years I have been receiving volunteers in my home through websites such as Workaway and Wwoof. I recently found out about couchsurfing and am looking to host people this way as well. I have multiple rooms open and would love to host travelers, but especially families with children.

Creating a school independently and following my dream.

Share - our time, company, and conversation.
