I recently moved to SF as I prepare to launch my social impact business www.ubegin.com. I have a with a strong background in social enterprise, community development, technology/internet, and sustainability. I love good food, organic food, cooking for myself, or taking in the best local restaurant. I'm a fan of getting in colourful chats with people with crazy ideas and meaningful topics, and also enjoy my quiet time very much to just relax and take in the day.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
