Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Some of my best experiences traveling occur when I meet random people and have spontaneous talks and adventures. Who doesn't like making friends?

Music, Movies, and Books

BOOKS
- All the Light We Cannot See
- GoT
- I'm a sucker for the NYT top books lists
- Been reading murakami lately, but it hurts my brain

MUSIC
- depends on what I'm doing, but I listen to all kinds of stuff

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had a pebble in my nose for a week without noticing

Teach, Learn, Share

Be comfortable being uncomfortable, and good things just seem to happen more

What I Can Share with Hosts

- I can speak Chinese/English with you if you want to practice
- I can teach you table tennis (I once played for the US collegiate team)
- I'm really good at washing dishes (I can't cook, so dish duty has always been relegated to me in my family)
