I'm a new to couchsurfing but fell in love with travelling/backpacking a couple years ago and haven't stopped!

When I'm not travelling the world and meeting all kinds of people, I'm a crisis counsellor, freelance public speaker and aerial silks performer in Toronto. I was born in Hong Kong but grew up in Toronto. I speak fluent English and Cantonese. I have always loved the Spanish language and the latin culture. I LOVE TO DANCE! I'm new to salsa but with a good lead, I pick up pretty quickly. I love to travel, meet new people, and very passionate about life and my partner J. I'm easygoing - I enjoy alone time as well as a nice conversation with good company. I suck at telling jokes but my friends are usually laughing at me so I guess I'm pretty funny.

I love learning about different people, their way of life, culture and perspectives. We all have a story and all bring something to this world. I'm particularly interested in meeting any circus folks, if you are travelling in Toronto, give me a shout! Would be happy to show you around the circus studios!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

You tend to meet different or "outside of the box" kinds of people who backpack or travel in this way. I met so many amazing people while backpacking Australia for 2.5 months. I have yet to try couchsurfing but I'm sure I'll come across very interesting people!

Interests

#1 FOOD!
#2 Learning about any and everything
#3 Aerial, dance, yoga, fitness, music, travel, outdoors, advocacy (child welfare, environment, mental health, domestic violence, homelessness etc) and helping people.
My ultimate goal is to open a private practice in dance therapy. Dance/Movement Arts therapy utilizes movement as a form of healing and recovery.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always had a fear of heights and deep waters...but in a short span of week being in Cairns, Australia I became a certified diver and bungee jumped from 50m. It was absolutely terrifying but liberating at the same time!

Oh and I performed for Disney recently :) Considering I was told I should give up on dance because I can never compete with the people who started at the age of 3, it was a huge accomplishment.
