Understanding that it is better to give than to receive ...

ABOUT ME

Together with my husband/life-partner, Matthew, we are a couple of people who are easy to befriend. If you don't mind sharing endless little cups of Chinese tea and making conversation, we would love to meet you.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I joined CS almost 10 years ago and have since stayed in over 40 homes around the world, hosted dozens of times and shared many excellent experiences with strangers ever since. Of course, this is also just what happens in life when we are open to new experiences and striking up conversations with strangers -but I do love how CS facilitates this very old world living.

兴趣

Matthew's interestes and skills include: Chinese language, history and philosophy; Tai Chi; cooking up some amazing eats; and rugged wilderness adventures.

Sarah's interests and skills include: community building, public policy discourse, making atmosphere and generating fascinating conversation generally :-)

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Sarah hitchiked extensively between 2007-2009 and once spent the first half of a summer living in Iqaluit (population density 0.01/km2) immediately followed by the second half spent in Hong Kong (population density 6300 people/km2) !

Matthew has travelled to some northern Innu & First Nations outposts and once hiked and hitchiked for a week into Australia's "bungle bungles" after being dropped off by a bus, on the highway, 45km away !

And many, many more amazing adventures which we would love to share in person ...
