CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world vicariously through couch surfing friends, to broaden my world view, and to meet that special someone.

ABOUT ME

I'm from LA, but don't know LA that well. I have many things that I want to do and have trouble choosing between them (time-wise). I am interested in meeting new people from different parts of the world, that are doing different things with their lives. I have no shame in shooting off a long series of questions if I find the person really interesting. I talk fast and like cutting straight to the issue. My mind always goes in many places at once. People say "I think too much". If I belong somewhere (like a friend's party), I can talk to everyone in the room. But at a bar, I have trouble starting a conversation. I'm a fairly closed person, but I'm good at answering questions.

PHILOSOPHY

For me, life is mostly mental. By that I mean that what you see is only part of what is there. It's like when you are designing something and you can see it clearly in your head, but you can't get your hands to reproduce it. I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt because I don't always trust my perceptions of people. It takes me an hour or so to "click" with someone, but it's more of a mental barrier. With trust, many, many things are possible.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm willing to meet up with CSers and show them around town, even drive them places, on the weekend only. Weekdays I'm usually busy at work.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None. I was turned away from this site because it is too "dangerous" but I've since met many couchsurfers and I want to give it another shot!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Just yesterday I was in my apartment and the building next to us caught fire. I only noticed because it was so loud and very bright. I was very calm and grabbed my most important items (my computer hard drives and laptop) and got out of the building. Luckily our building didn't burn down. I always wondered if I would remain calm during a crisis, and I didn't freak out even for a second.

教，学，和分享

Not sure. Like the caption says, we all have things that we can share. We'll have to meet up and see what flows between us!
