I am back home in Beijing, China, where I grew up, after three years of travel, mostly around Central and North America. I play music for a living, primarily in public spaces, which makes my work very mobile. I try to take full advantage of this mobility by traveling as far and wide as I can, taking overland routes, hitchhiking when circumstance allows, for the purposes of meeting people and expanding networks of understanding.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe in mutual aid. I think that when people share resources everybody benefits and I think platforms like this one are very important in building a culture of trust and sharing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a fair amount of experience teaching guitar. I would be happy to help you out some if you're learning!
I would love to learn about any instruments that you might know anything about, and if you speak Arabic I would love to learn some from you.
I also love to cook and share recipes.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Music! I bring my guitar with me wherever I go and love playing with new people!
