My favorite drink used to be tea, but now is water.
It is hard for me to describe myself, because I change often.
I crave lucidity. I love movement and encounters. I feel different in every land.
As a child, I was obsessed with adventure stories and I always knew I’d travel when I grew up; I feel a quiet, immense gratitude that I’m finally doing it. :)
Growing up as an only child with books as her only friend gave me great love for stories. I travel because I love stories, and I travel because I love the random moments in a place that you didn't know existed feel like they were destined to be.
Traveling carved me. I used to travel full-time, but now I am studying, and I love what I study: Global Humanities.
Just like what I study, I may be a shallow but vast ocean, I know a bit about many things, and I enjoy talking about most things.
I believe the basis of faith is doubt, I am very interested in the rituals of our daily lives, and the new forms of community in this modern age.
I'm not afraid of dogs anymore, I wish to learn some instruments, and I'd be honored to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it is an alive and active community, contributing to free, humane movement on Earth.
To witness another human's life so intimately, is beautiful to me. Couchsurfing allows us to share our lives, it supports me to travel. I love that.

Teach, Learn, Share

Language sharing is natural. Whatever language I know is yours, and I'm happy to learn as much as I can.
I love learning recepis.
I wanna know the details of festivals and tradition you grew up with. I'm curious about dreams.
I think each person has a unique thing to teach.
