Usually considered friendly, down to earth, curious, well mannered, open-minded, overly calm, empathetic, individualistic, rational.

I originally double majored in economics and finance back home.. worked as a researcher in a corporate training and consultancy company, independent Trainer on a number of occasions, and a psychology instructor before I came here. Now doing my MSc in psychology at university of Essex, will be doing another one next year in cognitive neuroscience and research methods. generally like to do a lot of stuff from cooking to drawing to sports to reading. Have a sense of curiosity towards almost everything.. generally not very tensed up, tend to enjoy doing whatever without being pressured by a sense of obligation so hardly see a strictly negative side to anything. I guess that's a fair summary.. and you can always ask)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always pleasant to meet new people from various backgrounds.. Appreciate diversity thought this would be a great way to socially be exposed to it.
