Hello! I'm Nicohl, coming from Taiwan and speaking English, Mandarin Chinese, and French (and recently busy horning my baby German and Japanese!). A law school student in the U.S. and an avid traveler, my lifelong passions involve food, water sports, language and culture learning, novels and short stories. Countries that I've visited and miss the most are Italy, Laos, and Cambodia. Once an exchange student at Paris, I have to admit I'm francophile (the food! the theater!!)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As a surfer:
I am always respectful. I usually go to bed before midnight and get up around 7, but when I travel I'm very adaptable. I love to cook and exchange experience of traveling and cultural studies.

As a couch provider:
Unfortunately, I'm going to spend my first year in law school living on-campus, so I won't be able to receive guest for this academic year.
