About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To boldly go where I have not gone before

PHILOSOPHY

I think we're here to experience all sorts of things and try to do good. I think things are complicated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

After living in Beijing for 5 years, I joined CS in preparation for a trip where I planned to hitchhike across the Pacific on sailboats. I started in Indonesia and CouchSurfed across Java, but then my visa ran out before I found any boats so I just flew home. :p Now back in Boston, I find it's harder to meet interesting people than it was in Beijing, and I hope CS can help.
