I'm a university student on his way to a study abroad program in Singapore! I'm so excited to finally have a chance to travel, as the feeling of immersing myself into different cultures is my favorite thing. I'm very keen on eating different kinds of food and learning languages. I prefer to really get to know an area by going for a run around it; it can show you so many things you would've never noticed otherwise!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for connections to people from different countries and cultures around the world. A lot of time when you travel, you get caught up in the common tourist experience that makes your time abroad the same as everyone else's, ot an authentic and personal experience. Therefore, I want to use CouchSurfing to meet people, learn about their life/share mine, and make genuine connections.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I taught English in Tokyo to children for a month. That in itself is alright, but it was my first time travelling to Asia, and I knew nobody in the country. It was pretty daunting at first, but turned out to be an amazingly rewarding experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I've traveled a few places, so I've got a few stories to share. I really enjoy to hear more about others' stories more though. Also, I try to collect songs from around the world too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

America's image around the world is interesting. I think it would be interesting to share how it's like to live in my country.
