Hello!

I recently graduated from UCSB with a Global Studies major. Cantonese Chinese was actually my first language but then I started learning English in school and lost most of my Cantonese haha. Still, I love languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a solo traveler, I like couchsurfing as a new to meet people and get a more authentic look into the places I'm traveling. I think it's such a cool personal look into a different world.

Interests

I love outdoor activities, especially hikes and beautiful runs. I, like everyone else here, loves traveling and culture shock. Cooking is also a big part of my life so one of the most important things of traveling is trying all the different foods that I can't have at home.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to live in Nicaragua for a month with extremely basic Spanish. Looking back it probably wasn't the smartest thing I did but man that was probably the best month of my entire life. I went with a group to learn about sustainable gardening in a small village where no one really spoke English. I had to learn real quick.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching and helping out with English if anyone wants to work on conversations or accents with me. I'll try to not make you sound TOO Californian haha, unless you want to. ;)
