Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends back in Canada recommended CouchSurfer so here I am. I always wanted to try couchsurfing since university and was simply too shy to ever start. Now that I'm more adventurous and independent, I figure its time to cross this off my list to do.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

AMAZING FUN FACT
I have dyed my own hair pink for 6 years now, and counting.

TRAVEL FUN FACTS
Hiking in Vancouver (Canada) and falling off a tree, rooftopping (China, Taiwan, Hong Kong), waking up to a sunrise by the Rideau river (Canada), meeting up with my Japanese penpal after 10 years of email correspondence (Japan), sneaking into an art museum (China) before construction was finished, staying up all night in Tsim Sha Tsui (Hong Kong)

Teach, Learn, Share

I absolutely love to paint watercolours, and always bring a travel kit with me. I'd be more than happy to paint you something personalized! I love practising yoga, and if you're up to it, I'll teach you how to do a tripod headstand.
