CURRENT MISSION Familiarize myself with the world one unfamiliar country at a time ABOUT ME Constantly looking for ways to improve myself. The world is full of surprises and wonders, like a box of chocolate. Whoever stifles their imagination from tasting the wondrous flavors misses some. I am very curious and will take every opportunity to learn and grow. I like observing the world around me, starting conversations with strangers. People and culture fascinate me. I live a healthy lifestyle - so no smoking, heavy drinking, or drugs.

Почему я на Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING I ventured out to the US alone when I was 18, Couchsurfing made a dream come true for me. I'm so grateful for the community COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE Couchsurfed my way through California, people on this site are amazing, many of the hosts I stayed with are still good friends of mine today. I came to the US with nothing but a blurry dream, I found my permanant home here thanks to the Couchsurfing community.
Музыка, кино и книги
I mostly just read a lot of books these days because I own too many. Non-fiction and personal development. I would love to read more English literature/novels and understand them better, however. A current book I'm reading is called Romancing the Shadow. I also self-published my first poetry book on Amazon which I'm excited about sharing with more people. I'm at least half audiophile, recently listening to a lot of classical music since I started learning the violin. I also love Alternative music, some Pop and R&B. I like soft rock music like The Cranberries but I definitely own the ability to rock out to any hardcore ones. And movies, all I can say is that I am picky with the ones I watch. Better be educational and make me ponder.
Одно удивительное, что я сделал
Getting on an airplane to the US by myself at 18 without knowing anyone there, and used Couchsurfing to eventually immigrate and started a family in San Francisco. Then I went to community college for 2 years and now I study at UC Berkeley!
Учить, учиться, делиться
I can teach you Mandarin Chinese and basic piano, guitar, violin, and etc. Things I want to learn: your language, literatures, to cook your home cuisine, education, cool dance moves, acrobatics, acting, storytelling, anything you're willing to share really!
Что я могу предложить хостам
Mandarin practice, Chinese culture, my smile and good mood, my silliness, and stories from my enigmatic life
Мои интересы
MUSIC. I probably sing and hum subconsciously every day and I like to write songs. I play basic piano, guitar and drums. Currently learning the violin. OUTDOORS. Just add water. Swimming, diving, surfing, roller blading, biking, slack-lining, ping pong, etc. Also did triathlon for a while LANGUAGES. I love learning new languages and being able to converse with locals in their own languages when I'm traveling. I want to learn as many languages as I humanly can. Oh and I can say "I love you" in at least 25 languages. PEOPLE. I like observing people and finding out why they behave the way they do. NATURE. Nothing beats a peaceful, mindful walk in nature and listening to the bird chirps. Swimming in the ocean over sunrise. Poetry. Literature. Acting. Playwriting. Songwriting
