关于我

MISSION
My life’s purpose is to help people live their happiest and most meaningful lives. I envision a future where we are all loved, all supported in becoming our best selves, and all passionately doing meaningful work that will change the world. My vision for a better world is best achieved through community housing projects, specifically coliving & cohousing. I work to inspire, educate, and build sustainable systems that enable people to live happy and meaningful lives together in community.

VALUES
I value being open. I believe our ethics, cultural norms, and laws depend on our current context, not on any objective truth. I aspire to learn from everyone, to hear and understand as many stories as I can.

I value being present. The good life is made through connection to ourselves, to our community, and to our planet. We live in a notification-driven screen-based society that makes it easy to take the beauty in our lives for granted. I practice mindfulness and gratitude.

I value being true. Our most important journey is the journey to our true selves. Our consumer-driven culture wants all of us to work as hard as we can to make as much as we can to buy as much as we can. We forgo becoming artists in favor of becoming bankers. I cultivate my creative spirit and embrace my unique flavor of weird.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

In one word: Connection.

Connection is the driving force behind happiness and meaning in my life.

We all have the ability to walk, drive, or fly anywhere in the world, but to share a home-cooked meal with an authentic person in their home is a unique and beautiful experience. It's a simultaneous act of vulnerability and care that brings us together, reminding us of the most important part of life.

Love.

I am couchsurfing to cultivate this love, creating deep and meaningful connections with as many fellow humans as possible.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I moved to Seattle in 2016 to work as a software engineer at Facebook. I thought I would love the job, but ended up feeling like my soul was being sucked out. After 7 months, I quit. After quitting, I started a few online businesses that failed in the first year. 

In February 2017, I participated in a 10-month organic farming internship. The internship taught me how to grow food at the neighborhood scale, but it also showed me that many small farmers struggle with business development and marketing. Combining my experience in technology, business, and farming, I now help connect local food businesses with the people they want to reach by beautifully telling their story on the Internet.

教,学,和分享

Sometimes it's hard to tell who is teaching and who is learning, for me it's usually a combination of both. I would be stoked to talk about storytelling, community building, cohousing/coliving, communication, & culture!

I could also share some tips on photography, videography, storytelling, social media marketing, and growing food.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

My authentic self...and maybe some really good, bad stories. Or are they really bad, good stories?
