Overview
About Me
If I can only use one word to describe myself it would be open-minded. Really you can tell me the weirdest things I won't be scared away. I'm always open to try new stuff. My philosophy in life is 'do no harm' and 'always assume the best of intention from other people unless proven otherwise'. I'm generally helpful and flexible. I also have a lot of curiosity and energy so if you have a story please do tell!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to open my eyes to the 7 billion different lives people out there are leading.

Music, Movies, and Books
I like all kinds of novels (except romance). My favourite writer is Khaled Hosseini. I don't really have a favourite type of music. I like all kinds...pop, jazz, classical, (alternative) rock. A surfer I met introduced me to dubstep and I love that too! That's exactly what's so amazing about couchsurfing - it opens your eyes to what you haven't seen.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Star watching at a Mongolian highland. It's not that fun, really. Freezing, but the quiet and solitude is something city dwellers would enjoy!//Swimming in a rainforest in Sri Lanka, and trying their purest coconut water and honey. BEAUTIFUL place.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can show surfers around the city if you'd like to, I'm also open to just a meal/drink and chat. I can teach Chinese and its culture obviously. I'm very interested in learning any foreign languages (Spanish and German in particular). I consider being able to swear in different languages an essential life skill.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Love :D Just anything I can share! Stories, thoughts, culture... I'm a very flexible person. If a host wants more privacy I can totally take care of myself but I'm ready to make friends anytime! I'm a good drink buddy too.
