ABOUT ME

It is always hard to describe oneself, but i know one thing for sure about myself: I REALLY like trying new foods!

I am: frugal (think student budget), good at listening, contemplative, quiet, outdoorsy, a little mercurial.
I am not: loud, judgmental, picky, super spontaneous (I get nervous if I don't have a schedule or plan).

I will say, if you are gracious enough to let me stay with you, I certainly do not expect you to be my tour guide or personal chef. :) I am pretty independent and I enjoy and often prefer to do things alone. Please don't misinterpret this as unfriendliness or something personal! Traveling, for me, is easier when I can change plans suddenly without being a burden to someone else. I just need someone to point me in the right direction.

I am someone who enjoys sitting in cafes and parks while reading or drawing or listening to music. I do not particularly enjoy clubbing or crazy drinking nights, but I would love to go to a pub or bar and chill there for drink or two.

PHILOSOPHY

"You must never feel badly about making mistakes, as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm interested in surfing as well as meeting a lot of fun people to do stuff with while I'm in Ireland, Paris, or Germany. While touristy stuff is always good, I want to get to know the typical street scene and everyday life.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good!

兴趣

Reading, drawing, music, movies, and I probably watch more TV than I probably should. I love, love, love food and am looking forward to new cuisine.
