About Me

CURRENTLY: In Barcelona
 
I left my corporate job after 10 years and now am self-employed living minimally and intentionally doing things like writing, coaching, consulting, podcasting, creating online courses, taking walks, reading and having amazing conversations with curious humans.

I have an amazing partner Angie who is WAY cooler than me and usually traveling with me couchsurfing.com/people/yu-hsiu

Please reference a book or podcast you like in your request :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am thinking a lot about how to build an amazing life of simplicity, passion, and energy. I have met such amazing CSers throughout the world and have hosted and stayed as a guest. They are some of the best people I've met (can't we all start a country or something?).

I'm super curious about the people who veer off the default path (freelancers, artists, tiny houses, digital nomads, nonmonogamy, flaneurs, co-living etc...) so if you are one of those people, lets have a cup of coffee!

Interests

I host a podcast where I explore how we can “reimagine work” and learn about people's paths to self-employment, dive deep on the modern state of work with philosophers, creatives and experts

I also wrote a book on similar the themes call The Pathless Path which has sold 40k+ books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing he BVIs on a catamaran for a week. Incredible.
