I'm an American expat living in Shenyang. I've spent nearly 5 years living in different places in China. I like the outdoors, exercise, meditation and political affairs. I'm a bit of an introvert so meeting people is scary for me, but I'm trying!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to get local insight into places I travel and help people understand more of where I live.
