ABOUT ME

curious about the world around me. sense of adventure. spontaneous. enjoy life in a diverse city. love the outdoors the oceans and the mountains. and love to explore. Physician of Classical Chinese Medicine. What some call alternative medicine. Connecting with earth, stars and the water. On the road at the moment. No matter where I go I like to make time to dance, surf, hike, practice yoga, qi gong, listen to music, write, take pictures, and drink tea with friends. i love learning new languages and new cultures. i like to have the ability to be immersed in new cultures and live in varied places.

I don’t have the ability to host anyone at the moment because I don’t have a home or flat of my own. I am living in a housing - work exchange project.
