I am gentle, kind, and friendly. And last year, I quit my job to travel Latin America. After four months of traveling, I started to miss friends, so I am headed to the USA in June to meet some friends, thereafter, I thought of spending some time freediving in North Palm Beach, FL.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to go to North Palm Beach, FL for about 2 weeks to practice some freediving and take a spearfishing course. However, I checked the accommodations in AirBNB and realised how expensive it was. There weren't many near where I want to be as well. So I hope to find someone I can stay with instead for some cultural exchange! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the movie - Coco - very much. I love the twists and the family theme.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have written a book "The Graduate Student as Writer: Encouragement for the Budding Scholar" and it is available on Amazon (https://www.amazon.com/Graduate-Student-Writer-Encouragement-Budding-ebook/dp/B07S4B87K9/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+graduate+student+as+writer&qid=1560344740&s=gateway&sr=8-1). If you would like a free copy, please get in touch with me!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am good with my hands. For example, I can teach you how to make kimchi and how to mend torn clothes (or I can mend them for you).

I am a freediver - I can teach you how to hold your breath. You will be amazed. We all have this Mammalian Dive Reflex that is activated when we hold our breaths and have our faces in water. It causes our heart rate to drop among other bodily functions, so we can hold our breaths comfortably!

I am also a skilled writer. If you want to learn how to write, I can teach you. I write and I cannot stop writing. :) I keep many blogs. For example: https://chuashuyi.wordpress.com/

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with your household duties, like cooking, tidying and cleaning up, and help you with shop for groceries and prepare healthy meals. I am new to cooking but so far I have enjoyed it very much - testing out new recipes.

I am more inclined towards vegan diets but I am actually omnivorous. So I can share expenses with regards to food!
