About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study. Learn. + Couchsurfing

ABOUT ME

Studying medicine in an island of bygones called Cuba is the current phase of my life. This is the place where I began to experience life which I never planned of, tackle with language barrier till explore more and more language learning and encounter travelers who always have awesome and inspiring stories to share with. Of course, after going through these years surviving in Cuba, I have lots of authentic stories to scratch beneath the surface of Cuba.

I host people from different parts of the world because I believe this is the best way to travel and know friends in the compelling way. And this is where culture exchange, sharing of stories, food and knowledges begin.

PHILOSOPHY

Sharing is caring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By fate !

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Haha. Zero. Because currently busy studying. I'm going to start it by next year.

Interests

I like to do things that excite me. Like yoga and workout. I'm not a pro but I enjoy doing them.

However I love reading. Especially topic about human behaviour. I will never get tired of exploring them.

Cooking is not my thing but I like to invent stuff. Perhaps it's the best way to do it in kitchen mixing different ingredients without blowing up my house.

I tried to swim but it failed. And I will keep on trying.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
Any kind and any language of music. But Coldplay, Adele and Mike Posner surely on my list

Movies:
I can’t resist watching movies about zombies, monsters and ghosts. And I’m always hooked. Kungfu movies are my favorites too. Watching nice animated movies definitely will make my day. Anyhow, French movies are on my list too.

Books:
Any kind of books which will inspire and lead me to think. Like Albert Einstein said, any man who reads too much and uses his brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Accepted scholarship to study in Cuba without second thought. For kicks perhaps. and end up living there for 6 years

Teach, Learn, Share

Knowledge about medicine. Haha. In the future because now I'm still a student. May be exchange of culture, language and my humor

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help you with Chinese mandarin, English and Spanish if you are interested. I can share with you my experiences in Cuba, random topics or knowledge about medicine. At tandem, I am a good listener.
