I'm a 22 yr.-old hapa American who is teaching English in Wuhan this year. Nerdy, genuine, introverted, easy-going.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing because I don't want to just take trips and merely get selfies and trinkets in return. I want to learn something from the place, and I think that meeting up with locals is the best way to do that.

兴趣

Hiking, folksy music, cooking food (badly), attempting to remember Chinese characters

音乐、电影和书籍

I love Russian novels - probs Anna Karenina is my favorite novel, though I hope that one day I'll understand The Brothers Karamazov enough to make a judgement. No super favorite movies come to mind, but I guess my taste in movies are similar to my taste in books. A bit dramatic.

My music tastes keep on changing - Regina Spektor, Sufjan Stevens, and Kishi Bashi are pretty much constants though. Since going to the Strawberry Music Festival a few weeks ago, I've gotten really into 二手玫瑰 and 苏阳.

教，学，和分享

I was a sociology major in college, and will be starting my Ph.D in sociology this fall, so I would definitely say that this lens shapes how I view the world. If you're interested, I'd love to share that with you. But, as an introvert, I also enjoy (perhaps prefer) listening. So I'd love to hear your thoughts.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm a big believer in deep connections, and I wouldn't be on this website if I did not sincerely want to share a deep, albeit brief, time in our lives getting to know each other. Yes, I am an English-speaking foreigner, and I am happy to share my thoughts, ideas, and native language. However, over meals, walks, museums, hikes, coffees, bubble teas, I'd like to just get to know you. :)
