About Me

The past, present, and future keep me growing. I am a crab keeping one eye on the past and one eye on the future while continue moving in the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I travel, I found the best experiences are getting lost in the local community. In Chiang Mai, I went bike riding and spent an afternoon exploring a temple not included on my itinerary. I want to enrich this type of experience by returning to a warm, homey environment.

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently reading Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. This is my first philosophy book. Just finished reading the Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. Let you know, I am bad quoting from movies and books. As for music, I don't listen to much music, live music is better than the radio.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I will let you know when it happens, but hiking up Jade Mountain and living in Taiwan for 10 years was pretty amazing. Make sure to visit Taiwan.

Teach, Learn, Share

Good conversations are great places to learn and share. Teach a bit of Mandarin.
