About Me

As an aspiring author and aspiring traveler, I guess I should call myself an aspiring travel writer, all while being a full-time student and daydreamer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling to new places, meeting new personalities, and hearing new stories. Need I say more?

Music, Movies, and Books

Any song/piece of any style that strikes my fancy (can't say I have a favourite) will stay in my playlists until I'm sick of listening to them (I listen to a lot of pieces to obliteration). I can't really say I have a favourite book or movie because I love anything with a great story (subjective). However, I would say that the most influential book to me was The Thief, by Megan Whalen Turner, and my least favourite genre would be erotica, because cooties.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born.

Teach, Learn, Share

From experience, I would say I am a decent English teacher, but my more recent interest in Classics and myth and stories as a whole gave me a whole repertoire of stories I can share. I'm also a bit of a dunce on the road at times, which gives me a lot of personal stories of the times when I forgot to remember to use my head, ones that I will gladly share if you care to hear them.
I love to learn everything. I love languages, I love stories, I love ideas. The only problem I have with learning is remembering.
