Thank you so much for taking time out to read my profile.
First of all, I am a student in the field of psychology and now I am a Registered Massage Therapy Student. As you can see, I have a passion for listening to people's stories. Each human being offer stories of hope and joy and tears and sorrow. I have a passion people and their untold stories.

Second of all, aside from listening to your stories, i love to entertain people. I am a triple threat of sorts: I am a singer, actor and dancer and they are my second passion in life. I love to talk to people and bring a smile to your face. My friends tells me I am very funny and outgoing and that no one can help from falling in love with me.

Third, I am young and newly graduated. I am seeking adventure and new sights and sounds. I am craving for stimulating conversations and amazing sights of the world. My current plan is to travel around Asia and so I want to meet some awesome friends to see the world with.

PHILOSOPHY

The most important thing I'd learned in Psychology is that your mind and thoughts control your actions and eventually your life. You have the power to be happy or sad in the face of life's tough decisions. It is not easy at all but you can choose to perceive it negatively or positively, optimistically or cynically.

I learned to stop saying I CAN'T, and start saying I WILL. I learned to turn improbabilities into probabilities and turn probabilities into possibilities.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am planning to do volunteering or anywhere I can help out as i travel. I plan to visit orphanages around Asia and contribute my time there. Also, I love to visit senior homes to bring a smile to their faces.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

This is very new to me. My first time traveling alone.
I hope this will be an amazing adventure.
I have one experience as a film researcher. I was doing research on new immigrants and refugees and their livelihood in the United States. To prepare for research and to audition for this role. I was an undercover researcher who worked in the restaurant industry that hires illegal immigrants and new immigrants. I learned the ropes and the social status quo of the restaurant industry. I observe how the employers abuse and overwork their employees and the employees have no choice but to obey and stay. I worked 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. That was the most exhausting and most memorable and one of the biggest life lessons so far in my life.

Interests

I am very much into observing the people, places and sights around me. I love sight seeing and doing hands-on activities like cooking, dancing, painting, singing.
I love helping people through some volunteer work especially for people who are neglected, abused, unfortunate. I want people to know someone do care enough and that they don't have to do it alone. Most importantly, i want to make people smile.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorites books were written by Amy Tam. Amy Tam's book are the only fictional books I can actually read through and never back down. Aside from Amy Tam, I love non fictional books for real life stories are much more inspiring, entertaining and thought provoking then a fictional book. I prefer the read deal, the raw and gritty stories from people's life.
I am open to any music or movies, if not, i learn to appreciate the new sights and sounds.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
