Hi! I’m an American student studying in Edinburgh and I love exploring new places and meeting new people. I was born in China, but I grew up near Chicago.

As a student, there is a high chance I will spend some time quietly studying, but I also love to occasionally go out and have fun. I don't drink but will still embarrass myself with enthusiastic dancing! Most of the time though, I enjoy reading or drawing when I am alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am interested in meeting new people! The best part of traveling is the people you meet, and since I don't have much time to travel I thought I could at least meet people who are traveling

Interests

I've done pole dance for a while and dabbled in taking circus and martial arts classes. Sometimes I paint or draw but it's definitely a long process in actually being good at it. My degree is in philosophy, which probably makes me an asshole :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn what you're passionate about since I'm always up for trying something new :) And of course I am always interested to hear and exchange stories and experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am absolutely willing to help in any capacity I can, like cleaning, childcare, projects you're working on, etc. I am not a good cook but I am willing to help out in the kitchen if you want me to.
