About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study languages and travel the world

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is a foreign language; all men mispronounce it."

Life is too short to constantly worry about how my actions will be judged by others, so I just go out there and do what makes me happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I found out about the CS Project through my internship. We are currently working on a show talking about couch surfing and are looking for guests to talk about it. After doing some reasearch I loved what I read so much that I signed up. I hope to go to a few meetings here to get started and see where that takes me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CouchSurfing and can't wait to try it out!

Interests

I have a passion for learning and even just listening to languages. I am determined to learn Chinese and Japanese, then I'll branch into other regions. I also love to travel, and when I do I always try to gain a deeper understanding of the country rather than just focus on the touristy things (though they can be fun too!). Really, I can have fun doing anything, in any situation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies- Apocalypto, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Horton Hears a Who, Amelie, Harry Potter and many more.

Music- anything 90s is good by me. I also really enjoy listening to jazz, though I do not follow a certain player or band.

Books- just like movies, i can't list all of them. "The Stranger" had a large impact on my life. Some great reads were "Dream of the Red Chamber", "The Three Kingdoms", "1000 White Women", "Through the Looking-Glass", and "1984"
