CURRENT MISSION

To get through my academic year and finally go on this eurotrip!

ABOUT ME

My name is Gary, I'm half Thai half Taiwanese living in the beautiful capital city of Canada, Ottawa. I'm currently a second year communication studies student who has a passion in languages and traveling.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to say no to things. Always be open to new experiences. Karma is very real so you better be nice to everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I'm more of a guest person than a host person. I've stayed at a lot of people's places before and they all said I was a good guest even though it wasn't from this site. I just wanna go out and see the world and meet people at the same time, hopefully through this.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
This is my first time so I'm very excited to try this out. You gotta start somewhere eh?

Interests

Learning languages definitely. The obvious traveling. Social Media, Instagram particularly. I love Coffee, Starbucks or local, I don't discriminate.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Typical Top 40s, a lot of Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Sia. I go indie kinda sometimes with Lana Del Rey, and Fall Out Boy's not bad. Anything I can dance to to be honest.
Movies: Romantic Comedies or just comedies in general does it for me. Horror when I feel like it.
Books: I mainly read autobiographies of celebrities like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Ellen, Mindy Kaling, Chelsea Handler etc. I like learning about other people's lives and be inspired by their success stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've skydived in Taupo in New Zealand where they filmed Mordor for Lord of the Rings. If one does not simply walk into Mordor, skydive into it instead.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the languages I speak or if you wanna practice the language you're learning that I speak fluently.
I would love to learn about the cultures of the place I'm visiting and also learn the language. I would have a bigger interest if the language happens to be the ones I am learning.
I'll buy you dinner if you want! I do share food :)
