My name's Jia Hui and I love learning about new places, meeting new people, listening to stories, and trying new food. I hope to meet you and get to know you, wherever you are!

I enjoy being in the outdoors - I hike, go to the beach, and run. But I also really like visiting temples, churches, museums, markets, and seeing old buildings.

I can host occasionally - so even if it's coffee, do let me know.

Looking for a Host in Boston, MA? My life is a bit hectic and in a transitory mode. I would love to host if I am available, please just send me a message. I haven't been checking my inbox for a while, but I'm back on-track.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sharing and meeting people have been great - they've shaped so much of how I live.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like folksy music but exploring a bit of the "neu" and techno. Movies that have stayed with me: Big Fish! Boys Don't Cry. Cloud Atlas. Books: I loved reading Cloud Atlas. Zadie Smith's NW. Kundera's Unbearable Lightness of Being changed how I love.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed the highest* peak in Southeast Asia, Mount Kinabalu; peed from an 18,000ft plateau in the Himalayas, crossed the Golden Gate Bridge on foot; farmed in the Adirondacks.

*its height is debatable
