ABOUT ME

For the last 2.5 I worked in Beijing as a freelance multimedia journalist and lecturer of American Studies and English at Tsinghua University. My work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, The Chronicle of Higher Education, The Atlantic, The South China Morning Post, The National Interest, The Beijing Review, and Time Out Bhutan. Now in Hong Kong working on some freelance projects and trying desperately to drop the "freelance" part of my title and do journalism full-time

PHILOSOPHY

Never be comfortable, never stop moving, press out in all directions, stagnancy is death, Pride always goeth!

Dlaczego jestem na Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to couchsurfing, but I have been traveling and hosting and staying with strangers whenever I can. Once I settle myself in either Hong Kong or New York City, I look forward to opening up my apartment to the couchsurfing community and returning the favor. After all, a stranger is just a friend you've never met
