Writer, creative worker, and animal justice advocate. I am a fun, easy going person with a lot of love for all living beings, humans and animals alike. I am here to learn from each person I encounter - I believe we all have something to teach each other. I'm great at cleaning and cooking and would love nothing more than to help out with those while staying at your place (My running joke goes, "I'm Asian, of course I'm a cleaner!").

I'm typically shy and reserved at first but I get conversations going quite easily once I feel more comfortable and relaxed - I'm an extrovert through and through. I enjoy reading, listening to music, taking long walks and, of course, chatting. At my core, I'm a chatty and curious person, always interested in what other people say, think, see the world, what have you.

At the end of the day, all we really have is each other. I want to make sure that we all feel good, happy and welcomed in each other's presence. Life's tough enough as it is - let's make things easier for each other. Thank you for reading this blurb and considering to host me at all. I do not take your kindness and hospitality for granted. I am forever grateful.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I will be very transparent: I am currently finding my footing in the US, doing my best to settle in North Carolina, and therefore need some help with regard to accommodation for the time being. Basically, by letting me stay over for two or three nights, you help me ease off some of the tension caused by transient living arrangements I am currently embroiled in, haha. Once again, thank you for your kindness and hospitality.

Interests

I'm a pretty mundane person tbh. Literally my hobby is sleeping, haha. That aside, I listen to music all the time, read articles online (or occasionally books), or chatting with people, both online and offline.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Rescued a stray cat a couple of years who has now become a full-on house cat!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach people French and Indonesian. Would love to learn to speak Spanish and play the guitar and piano. I can share my skills and services (linguistic, cleaning, cooking - esp Indonesian cooking), my life stories, things like that.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Assistance with cooking, cleaning, and housekeeping in general. Fun, free-flowing conversations. Considerate of host's personality and accommodation style. I (want to) match your energy, really. Also, I hope to make new friends along the way!
