Hi. My name is Aurora and I am an English Teacher in Beijing, China. I am originally from New Jersey. I have been in Hong Kong for almost a month and am looking for new experiences while I get a new visa to teach in China (I transferred jobs in China). I am looking foreword to meeting new people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been living in a hostel for a while, but I am looking to meet even more people and save a bit of money while I am in Hong Kong. Unfortunately, I am on a tight budget and can not afford to verify my profile. I am willing to Skype with a potential host, so they can get to know me (and I can show you my passport) before they accept me into their home. My skype name is aurora.seamon My email is aurora.seamon@yahoo.com

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moving to China to teach English

Teach, Learn, Share

Fun fact. I spent two summers working as a sous chef at a summer camp in Madison, Virginia and can teach you how to cook.
Learn: I would love to learn some Cantonese while I’m here
Share: I am an open book. Ask me about attending Mount Holyoke College (1st women’s college in the U.S.) or about my major in disability studies and politics
