ABOUT ME

Hi there, world traveler. Thanks for checking my profile!

I teach in public school and at my private tutoring center in Brooklyn.

I used to have cats, but I like to walk shelter dogs to encourage adoption. Want to join? Message me!

I love being social in NY but these days because of work our time may be limited. Hopefully we can go to some not-for-tourist places, or at least have a meal together.

On the day of your arrival, please give me advance notice to see whether I am able to receive you. If not, Luana’s Tavern, the bar and restaurant below my home is a good waiting place, or we can arrange a key pickup somewhere.

**Please don't request to be hosted farther than one month away, unfortunately my schedule is too unpredictable.**

What's your favorite meal? Dining together is about more than eating. It’s cooperation and laughter, generosity and thoughtfulness. If you can't find time to cook or eat somewhere together, I'm not the host for you.

If you do prefer to cook instead of going out to eat, let’s do it. And ask me why my lasagna is famous in Taiwan :))

PHILOSOPHY

Treat others as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
