ABOUT ME

Born and raised in the US, I lived in Guilin, China from 2001-2016. I have been delightedly vegan since 1999. I spend most of my time reading, listening to any and all feet tapping happy music from Chopin thru international dub, watching movies, riding my bike, and hiking. I like the slow life with a green footprint. I have the remarkable ability of knowing the time at any point in the day. I would be a turtle if I was any animal.

PHILOSOPHY

treat others how they want to be treated and, like Einstein suggested, widen your circle of compassion to embrace all living beings

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet and share with people from around the world

Interests

I like to drink warm water, qigong in the mornings, fasting, dancing til sunrise, swimming across rivers, hiking, getting lost in new places then finding my way...
