I just moved to Beijing a month ago! My Chinese is super not good, hoping to pick up more soon. I share a place with three other teachers, it's not much. What the place lacks in character, I'll try and make up for in good times!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After many of my friends have recommended the service, I'm finally hopping on board! Looking forward to having many adventures hosting and travelling to new places!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Aside from the adventure junky ziplining and snorkeling (ok, maybe not so adventurous) I'm a loyal and dedicated friend. In my previous job I managed a university residence building. It was an amazing experience helping others grow into the people they are today. I look back fondly on the crazy nights, many laughs and entertaining discussions. It may not be the wildest thing I've done, but for me it stands as the most amazing choice I've made in my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English, cooking
Learn: Anything and everything
Share: Laughs, stories and a temporary home

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories about economics, non-profit work and just general motivation and inspiration. I can offer to do some cooking. I have a willingness to try new things, like leaving a job I loved to try something very new in China!

Looking forward to meeting all kinds of new and great people.
