HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love to travel, and to meet new people and learn about other cultures. I've slept on so many couches in my life, so I feel like it's only fair return the favor :) A few years ago I lived in tucson, AZ. The house I lived in—nicknamed the 'Rabbit Ranch,' because of all the rabbits in our yard at any given time, was big enough to house 3 or 4 people per night, and we had an average of 5 people stay per week. I think we had the record for Tucson's most surfed couches. It was fun to host so many people from all over the world - it was like a free B and B. So my plan is to try to host people here in NYC when I can (though my roommate isn't so into it unfortunately).
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I did a lot of surfing over the years, and still do at times, though I'm new to CS. In Mexico, I stayed with friends in Guanajuato and in Mexico City. And all over the u.s. in so many cities, and a few places abroad, in Singapore, and India. My sister in Los Angeles always joked about how her couch was permanently attached to me.
兴趣
I am really passionate about psychology, mainly Eastern psychology such as Buddhism and other similar practices that focus on training the mind to achieve happiness. I studied this and also Buddhist Art practices, or contemplative art-making, from about 2003 - 2014.
Also I love playing music and doing visual art - furniture design, painting, and Zen calligraphy. I like to meditate, do yoga, go dancing. I love the color green, and find myself in parks a lot.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情
I hitch-hiked across the country, from the east coast to Arizona, in 2010.
教,学,和分享
I don't really teach so much but I've studied Tibetan buddhism and meditation for a long time so I love to talk about them - especially how meditation and flow practices apply to the arts. I'm always learning - life is the great teacher...
