ABOUT ME

For 16 years, I lived in Charlotte, North Carolina, my hometown. My interests are numerous and difficult to harness. I've lived in California and China for about two years each, give or take.
Right now, I'm located in Chapel Hill, studying biology and Mandarin.
It is my dream to work for MSF, and I will.

PHILOSOPHY

all good comes from love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed Europe for a month at 19. Hosted a good handful of people in Los Angeles,CA. I met some really great people. Hope they're doing well!
Since then, I've surfed in Hong Kong and hosted several folks at my current home in Chapel Hill.

Interests

Mandarin and China. Tea. Most of my experience is with Japanese green tea or sencha, matcha too. I hope to learn much and more about the varieties of Chinese tea, brewing techniques/rituals, origins, and health benefits.
