CURRENT MISSION

to experience the world for the amazing place it is

ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting new people and hearing what they have to say. I'm always able to gain some knowledge from each person because there is so much out there that I still don't know about.

PHILOSOPHY

Any experience a person may encounter, whether good or bad, you are able learn and gain from it. Next time, you'll know what to do.
&
just keep going with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

only been surfing couches so far but will eventually start hosting when I get my own place

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfing has been very rewarding for me because I am able to experience a new place from a local's perspective. I have been able to see how other people live in another country, especially ones that contrast from my background. It's been an eye-opening experience.

-Shanghai, China November 2011
-Taipei, Taiwan December 2011

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

went on an excursion through the forests of Tahiti, hiked the Bridge to No Where trail & swam in the river, snorkeled along the reefs in Indonesia, walked the Great Wall of China, saw the Norwegian Fjords, crawled through the Cu Chi Tunnels in Vietnam

Teach, Learn, Share

A Taiwanese tea shop owner showed me the proper way of making and drinking tea. There's a lot more technique behind it than just boiling water & a tea packet. And exchange my life experiences and what I've learned from other people.

I would eventually like to be able to say "Thank You" in every language. And how to roll better spliffs, fold your shirts so they don't crease & wrinkle in your luggage, and be more even more patient. Oh, and how to read music sheets & solve a Rubik's cube.
