我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I find couchsurfers to be some of the most interesting travelers, with so many stories and experiences to share that I love to hear as a host/on hangouts.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Took a 7 month RTW trip/study abroad from Prague to Tokyo in 2014. I spent the summer excavating a medieval Transylvanian cemetery in Romania and a semester at NTU in Singapore, visiting 15 additional countries along the way.

Excavating a medieval Silk Road city on the Uzbekistan/Tajikistan border.

Spending two years living in Central Asia and studying local languages.

教，学，和分享

I'm always open to sharing knowledge about my fields of study (anthropology, archaeology, history) and travel experiences. Always interested in language exchange (I took a lot of language courses in uni).
