About Me

Hello!

I just moved to the USA a few days ago!

I love nature, natural building, permaculture and my dear husband Thomas.

SOMETHING ABOUT ME:

When I was in university, I taught Chinese to foreigners in China, and English to Chinese people. In 2012, my husband and I started a permaculture education center in China, where we taught gardening, natural building and sustainable living to 100s of volunteers and students. I moved to the US to continue my education in natural and sustainable building.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When we ran a permaculture center, many volunteers and students found us through CS. I have also stayed with several hosts around China and in SE Asia, and have made many friends through my travels.

I look forward to the next time we have our own home (hopefully with a big garden : P ) where we can host more surfers.
