CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying the beauty of the world and appreciating and serving humanity around me.

ABOUT ME

I graduated from medical residency, but I used to work as a research assistant in the University of California (SF). I do martial arts too (taichi, bagua) and I love meditation and qigong, and I used to teach martial arts to children before I went back to school!

I love languages and travel! It opens vast doors of understanding, connection, and humility that can only be experienced first hand.

PHILOSOPHY

"See this world as a free world, and see everyone in it as trying—through their individual experiences—to find their way back to that calling, back to that Source Energy. And even though there are billions of them going about it in a way that is different than you would choose, there's no right or wrong way. In other words, bless them all, and get on with the only thing you have any power about, which is opening or closing your vortex to your natural state of Well-Being."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Help spread the word of CS and act as a kind ambassador to anyone I meet. Sharing the experiences that serve to further prove our connectedness as people. Sharing the positivity of helping others and being helped.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in New Delhi, Paris, Lyon, Rome, Florence and London! It was such a great experience, meeting amazing people along the way. I live for bonding with another human being in a meaningful way that leaves both our paths for the better.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an engaged and patient listener who is willing to help in whatever way would help facilitate my stay with hosts. I'm most happy to even do chores if you would like. I do request that hosts feel open to communicating this with me, and would be open to my questions on how best to help. Let me show my gratitude back to you!
