Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I was on couchsurfing many years ago but I can't remember my account - the platform seems much improved now. Anyways, I am thrifty traveler and always excited to share a conversation and a beer with new faces from different backgrounds. In the end we are all more or less to same, and I like the sensation of the difference/lack of difference between people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveled places in my local region in China where no tourists ever go. I also learned to teach there with nearly no experience beforehand, and now I can say I am a teacher and I work well with young kids.
Teach, Learn, Share
I know a lot about global geopolitics, asian politics and culture, Chinese food, language and state of mind, current events in Asia, european politics, american politics. videogames, outdoor sports like skiing, snowboard, mountain biking, road biking, bikes in general, computers and technology. I know a lot about food and I think about this a lot. Film, art and photography
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can share cooking and alcohol costs, good stories, little known knowledge about the U.S. culture you don't get through biased news outlets.
