I've grown up in Taiwan, Pakistan and India. Spending 9 years in international schools have made me really interested in all cultures and backgrounds. In those years I have had the opportunity to learn numerous sports, music such as flute, saxophone, piano, violin and lots of cooking.

I love to bake and cook dishes from all around the world. One of my goals is to be able cook a meal from every country hopefully because I have been there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to travel more and learn more about different cultures. I also love to learn their cultures especially their cultures in food, music and craft. I would like to learn their cultures and adapt them to my own. I believe the conversations in art is the purest form of understanding each others cultures. As all arts are extensions and expressions of human beings, to understand art is to understand them. I believe to travel and interact with them through art, I can understand them better. I love to interact more and be with people everywhere.

Interests

I am very interested in all kinds of craft and art. I have worked as a chef as well as a music teacher. My craft skills range from origami, wood work, chain mail and jewelry making to sewing, digital designing and construction. I love music and I play several instruments. I play the flute, violin, viola, cello, piano, saxophone, guitar and ukulele and many other instruments. I also study conducting and compose my own music. Another field of art that I absolutely love is culinary arts. I have spent years mastering bread making and cheesecake. I also mass produce food as well as designing meals personal to my clients!
