I'm a grad student in international relations and technology policy, mostly AI stuff and US-China relations. Living in Beijing for now, but with lots of chances to travel!

I'm into effective altruism, emerging technologies, jazz music, and plant-based foods.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Traveling is more fun with friends, I love to meet new people!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music and have pretty eclectic taste.

Some artists I like a lot: Ryo Fukui, Nina Simone, Kendrick Lamar, Fleet Foxes, Eminem, Talking Heads, The Shins, Prince, Daft Punk, Biggie Smalls, Sufjan Stevens, Old Crow Medicine Show, Arctic Monkeys, John Coltrane, Fela Kuti, and Jack Johnson.

I mostly read non-fiction stuff, especially about China recently, but I also like sci-fi.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can talk about tech policy stuff, and help people practice English. Also happy to help with cooking or chores!
