About Me

Hm... all about me.. tough tough. :D

Putting humbleness aside (cough cough haha), I am a very nice person! :D Kind, energetic and lazy, a little bit weird, almost always speak the truth, and really enjoy talking/listening about life stuff! I sometimes speak stupid, nonsense.
And.. people frequently say I smile and laugh a lot because I think everything is funny. :D

See more on "My Interests". :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the idea is great.
In today's word, I find that it's hard to find friends, especially if you have moved countries and working a full time job. :)

I am on couch surfing because I want to make new friends and I want to do fun things together with others.
I joined couchsurfing because I was curious to know new random people from different countries. I wanted to learn about their life and experience and be more part of the community of all people!

Interests

I love Japanese animation(Princess Mononke, Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Totoro, etc.), I love drawing and painting. I draw as a form of expression and I'm not necessarily good at it. :)

I love dancing even though I'm shy about it and I try random dance classes once in a while.

I love talking about life stuff... I love talking and listening a lot. :p
I like a lot of things... I love the moments when you suddenly have a revelation about something and when something clicks!
I love it when I find beauty in things!

Things that I like?
hiking... volleyball... depends on the experience! I like so many things.

I love Studi Ghibli Movies very very much(Princess Mononke, Howl's Moving Castle, etc).
Anime: Bleach, Naruto, FullMetal Alchemist
Movies: A beautiful mind, Black Swan, Pina, Stranger than Fiction, I also like weird movies but not the ones that don't make any sense!!

I like documentaries a lot too! As I get to see another independent story of a far far land. :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I get easily amazed. :p

Eiffel tower in Paris was amazing... The art collection in Musee d'orsay in Paris was amazing (Monet, Van Gog)! Niagara Falls with all its ice in Winter was amazing...

I think it's amazing that I got accepted into the university even though I was about a month late in the program!
Watching Studio Ghibli animations at the cinema is amazing. :D etc!
