American-born Chinese and Native American.
♎Year of the Metal Horse.

I like the outdoors, trying new cuisine, and learning new languages. I dabble in astrology and tarot card readings, Dungeons & Drangons (to DM or play), and consider myself pretty open to most things. Not into partying, but definitely won't turn down a good kickback.

I have spent the past year and a half studying Russian language but my conversational skills are low, so I welcome a chance to practice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like traveling, but don't like the anxiety I get from interacting with too many people at once. It might sound strange since people are everywhere, but after a certain amount of social interactions I am drained and tired. I prefer small groups over large gathering for extended periods of time. It helps to keep me from being a bystander in a room of conversation, you can say.

I have heard so much about the CS hospitality and comraderie that I thought I would try to reach out during a short layover in Helsinki. Wish me luck!
