Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel, meeting cool people and experiencing the art of living and happiness

Interests

I think I go through phases of dabbling more into music like experimenting with DJ'ing or brushing up with piano then I get sidetracked with the next thing I want to try like photography, yoga, biking, brewing beer/kombucha etc. Basically I have a habit of wanting to try things at least once before saying I'm not interested.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lie Gramophone, Juzzy Orange, Hello Nico and No Party for Cao Dong are what I have been listening to lately.

Trying to finish Taipei by Tao Lin for a while. Been meaning to try more Haruki Murakami after finishing The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle

My all time favorite movies would be a World without Thieves and Hero with Jet Li

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Driven a tank, held a puffer fish, jumped off a cliff...not all in one excursion though :p

Teach, Learn, Share

I can sort of play the piano and attempt to teach Mandarin Chinese. I'm also a yelp elite gold so if you want any food/drink recommendations I got you covered.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Yelpy food/culture insight with bias towards things Asians gravitate towards like bubble tea and karaoke spots for example. I love visiting parks and museums as well.
