Born in China, grew up in the U.S., worked in Portugal and China, then did the working-while-traveling thing for a year. Now trying to turn that into a permanent arrangement. (It's a work in progress.)

I have a piece of paper that says I'm educated and a general inability to take my life seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

During my last few months in Lisbon I met and hosted some amazing people. Then I traveled for half a year and met more amazing people. Decided that Courchsurfers are my kind of people.
