CURRENT MISSION

Traveling across south east Asia

ABOUT ME

Curious about everything--culture, language, nature, science, history, stories, life in general. Looking for a set direction in life, right now every place and every activity seems good and it's too hard to decide. Energetic, laugh easily, always game to try something. Oh, and I love food (cooking and eating) a lot!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge people unless you really understand them. Almost all people are good and are trying to do what seems right to them, just take the time to listen to them and help them how they want to be helped. And don't take things too seriously :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a few times in the USA.

Couchsurfing is an amazing way for people to meet and get to know other people who aren't like them and who they wouldn't normally meet. Plus it's a great group of people!

Interests

I love books, a lot, pretty much all of them. Also basketball. And nature. And walking. And food. And...yeah I'm interested in most things, I get distracted easily.

• birds
• culture
• books
• dining
• cooking
• walking
• traveling
• basketball
• history
• mathematics
• science

Music, Movies, and Books

Like I said, I love books, pretty much anything. In general they're just so fascinating. My favorite author is Virginia Woolf, everything in her books is so alive.

I also like lots of movies. I'm not picky. I love silly action movies and campy movies. The only movies I don't like are romantic comedies, they make me feel manipulated lol. My favorite movie might be My Neighbor Totoro, because it just makes me so happy.

I like most music but I'm not as passionate about it. I like rap and R&B the most.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the amazing birds in New Zealand. Kea (intelligent mountain parrots), takahe (big flightless blue and red birds that almost went extinct), pukeko (bright blue flightless swamp chicken), weka (curious brown bird like a chicken), and of course kiwi (like a bird version of a possum).

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about anything. If you have something you want to teach or share, I'm game to learn it.

I can teach/share: New Jersey slang from 5 years ago, neat things about math (if you're interested...lol), about birds in New Zealand, how to cook American food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fun, curious guest. Plus I can cook American food for you, though the outcome isn't guaranteed :)
