CURRENT MISSION

I want to learn everything about everyone. I love meeting people from different backgrounds because I think they all have something to offer. I also want to UN-stress my life while I am not studying at Georgia Tech

ABOUT ME

HELLO!!! My name is Ben Tsui and my last name is pronounced, "Chewy". I grew up in Chattanooga, TN and I was homeschooled until 9th grade. While I was home schooled, I played cello, piano, organ, violin; did gymnastics, karate, skateboarding, rock climbing, wake boarding, snowboarding, and day dreamed.

Home school was like a big vacation for me, but no worries because I made up for it in high school. High school pulled me through a 180. Homeschool made me a super jock with braces and high school made not dumb. Now I'm studying Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at Georgia Tech and it's kicking my butt.

My main hobby is rock climbing because it really inspires me to keep in shape and makes me super happy.

One vice of mine is TV. I watch a lot of TV, such as Scrubs (season 1-8), The Office, 30 Rock, Community, Modern Family, and It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a Seventh Day Adventist (Christian) and I believe in being beneficent to others and expect nothing in return.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to show people the world of rock climbing. It is something that is not as big as it should be. First I want to travel everywhere and climb everything and then I want to take people and share the experience.

As soon as I return to the United States and find an apartment, I will definitely host anyone who comes my way.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but hopefully soon.
