CURRENT MISSION

Fill up my passport before it expires. Visit my Mom as often as possible. Convince my boyfriend to speak Japanese to me.

ABOUT ME

I like to explore and improvise :)
I'm a generally lazy person who thinks too much about things. Somehow I am now living in Japan, and I couldn't have chosen anything else if I were given the chance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to find people to stay with so that I don't have to pay for hotels when I go places. Especially when my advisor's travel funding is limited.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only surfed on the "couches" of Seoul and Tokyo international airports (best naps I've ever had,) and my friends' couches

Interests

I like reading, thinking, travel, language, philosophy of science, neuroscience, food, cooking, and writing extremely long sentences about life my life (especially while riding airplanes.)

I recently visited Taipei and saw Chuufen, which claims to be the site that Spirited Away is based on. I don't know if it's true, but it's a cool place anyways. The sight of reddish-pink lanterns in the mountain-night and the smell of stinky tofu (especially the smell of stinky tofu) made it unforgettable.
