CURRENT MISSION

To live independent of location and travel the world with my husband

ABOUT ME

I'm outgoing and love to learn. I lived in Beijing, China for five years after college, getting to know the city and its (vast number of) people, and meeting my husband on the way. Now, we're both living outside of DC, working, and exploring this beautiful and small city!

PHILOSOPHY

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few times now, both through CS and friends. I have never surfed, but am very interested in doing so! I'll let you know next time I'm in your city :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted surfers, and have met up with a lot of surfers as well in Beijing. I have not surfed yet, but look forward to doing it next time I travel :-)
