About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Visit the world without dying (the without dying part being important)

ABOUT ME

I'm new to couch surfing, but... right now I just want to learn a lot about the rest of the world.

PHILOSOPHY

Every thing must be looked at from every possible angle. Especially the most important things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I said, I'm new, but this entire concept makes me excited to explore new places throughout the world.

I haven't been able to do this in a while, but I still want to, haha.

Interests

Talking with people about customs and viewpoints from other parts of the world. I mean... I'm ethnically Chinese, born in the United States. My mom grew up in Costa Rica, and my dad In Hong Kong. Half of my extended family is Christian and the other half Buddhist. I just find differences in opinions incredibly fascinating.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Lifehouse, Reliant K, Greyson Chance, shrug* Others?

Books: I honestly don't like that many books, I feel like I don't have the attention span to read a full book all the time.

Movies: I have to say I enjoyed watching the Avengers like... 5 times in Spanish.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time, in Costa Rica, I was on the beach with my friends at night in the pitch black, and when we looked up, we saw all the stars in the night's sky without a single star obscured. It was like staring into the rest of the Universe and realizing how small we really were.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a major new junky that reads BBC, Al-jazeera, CNNI, and sometimes Xinhua.

Bahamas, Canada, China, Dominican Republic, Egypt, France, Hong Kong, Jamaica, Japan, Macao, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Spain, Switzerland
