ABOUT ME

The basics: Tonedeaf American living in Beijing, China. I have lived in Washington DC, Spain and China. I worked at the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, have taught English in China and currently work in corporate team-building and education at The Hutong, www.thehutong.com

If you asked my friends: They would say I'm always concocting plans and ideas and will try almost anything once, as long as it's with good people. I'm impulsive and a bit all over the place in mind and location, but a true friend.

PHILOSOPHY

The best things in life are the places you go, the things you see and the people you meet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Happy to give suggestions and take people out in the city, especially because I work at an amazing Chinese culture center in Beijing that can help you out with all types of activities! I also love connecting people with similar personalities and interests.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted in Beijing and surfed in Indonesia, but not much!

Interests

I love meeting and connecting people, warm weather, exercise, languages, food, hot drinks (especially tea), dancing/music and finding the buzz in any city.
