CURRENT MISSION
I haven't been on CouchSurfing in years, but I figured this would be a good time to try it again. I'm visiting Japan for the first time in December 2025 to see Hitsujibungaku, and REI live!

ABOUT ME

I'm an INFP/INTP personality. I'm pretty chill and enjoy a good conversation as much as a good live band. I'm always up for a new food experience.

I’ve worked in IT, taught English in China, owned a small bicycle repair shop, freelanced as a copyediting for a bit, and have been a bicycle mechanic for nearly 20 years (can't believe it's been that long!).

I try to travel light.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not able to host at the moment but I'm up for meeting new people. If you're pedaling through and need help with your bike, I can help.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've gone to a few local meetups and met some cool people. Looking forward to meeting more.

兴趣

I love making things and learning how things are made. I enjoy hearing about other people's processes and what they're passionate about. Experiencing nature and wilderness helps keep me sane.
