Hola! My name is Hui (HOO-EE) and in case you’re wondering, it means wisdom in Chinese. I‘m American woman currently living in Pais Vasco, Spain. I moved here to teach English, learn about a different culture, and experience living somewhere else.

Personality wise, I guess you can say I'm somewhat of a hippyish, soulful-ish, nerdy person with a healthy dose of cynicism. I love nature, art, movies, books and things that makes you ponder a bit. I love learning new things.

On a typical Saturday night, you’ll find me eating, cooking, painting, writing, watching a movie, out with friends, dancing or being a complete couch potato. 🥔

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My ultimate goal in life is to see as much of the world as possible and CS has made my traveling experiences 10000x richer.

Interests

Meditating, waking up to no alarm clock, sleeping in, drinking coffee, tea with biscuits, touring supermarkets in foreign countries, cooking, nature, bonfires, beaches, hiking, discussing movies, being exposed to new ideas, having my old ideas challenged, thrifting, reading, writing, painting, and singing off-key.
