I grew up in a very Chinese home. The longest I've lived in one place is 4 years but for the majority of my childhood, I lived in different parts of Columbus, Ohio. From fifth to ninth grade I lived in China which was an incredible experience (though if you were to ask me a couple years ago I would have described it through a series of grunts) and shaped a lot of who I am today.
A little less about my background and a little more about me!
I am somewhat manic in the sense that I am a very excited person and I really enjoy constantly having something going on, whether it be intellectually or physically. With that said, I love experiencing new things, even if that means going out of my comfort zone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Initially I wanted to couch surf because I want to be able to travel and explore new places without it being unaffordable. Looking more into couch surfing and hosts I'm more excited about getting to meet new people and being introduced to their city by them. I love learning about other people's culture and their perspectives and comparing it to my own.
