Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Though I no longer am living there, people are also welcome to mail me specific questions about travel around Xinjiang, the region where I lived over recent years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CouchSurfing experiences were all hosting, back when I had an apartment to share in far-western China. Then it was about connecting with people on an trip out of China, going overland to Europe. Now that I'm nomadic, I'm curious to see where CouchSurfing next takes me.
