Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Some of my best experiences traveling occur when I meet random people and have spontaneous talks and adventures. Who doesn't like making friends?
Music, Movies, and Books
BOOKS - All the Light We Cannot See - GoT - I'm a sucker for the NYT top books lists - Been reading murakami lately, but it hurts my brain MUSIC - depends on what I'm doing, but I listen to all kinds of stuff
One Amazing Thing I've Done
Had a pebble in my nose for a week without noticing
Teach, Learn, Share
Be comfortable being uncomfortable, and good things just seem to happen more
What I Can Share With Hosts
- I can speak Chinese/English with you if you want to practice - I can teach you table tennis (I once played for the US collegiate team) - I'm really good at washing dishes (I can't cook, so dish duty has always been relegated to me in my family)
