CURRENT MISSION

Better understanding sustainable agriculture and food systems.

ABOUT ME

Pretty easy-going guy who enjoys basketball and reading. Likes studying other cultures, particularly east Asian. I love 饺子(dumplings). I enjoy economic debates and discussing policy issues in regards to international relations, economics, food and agriculture policy and socio-political theory. I like to read, from fantasy to current affairs.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't go through life looking for straight lines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I welcome any and all people to share their experiences and opinions with me with the hope that I am able to learn from them and in turn pass knowledge onto another. I support communication because I believe it fosters learning and since the CS project allows for this I wholeheartedly support its mission.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted before while I lived in China, but have yet to surf, mainly because I traveled where I had friends or went the hostel route.
