About Me

I'm a student that loves to travel, read, bike, photograph things, make gifts at tech shop, play chess, etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a poor student that would love to meet awesome people and swap stories. It also helps to have a place to crash after biking all day :P

Interests

Biking, computers, urban exploration, chess, gaming, building stuff, economics (planet money, anyone?) photography, reading good books, cooking, food, music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Seinfeld (started watching it a while ago), Sherlock, Brave New World, 1984, Shawshank Redemption, and many more.

I love jazz music, swing, electro swing, and old timey music. Cat Empire, Frank Sinatra, Air Supply, and Caravan Palace are some of the artists I'm listening to around now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just biked from Seattle to San Francisco?

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach chess (I've taught a group of elementary level kids before), teach some basic Chinese, teach how to fix a bike, teach how to build a computer, teach you how to build stuff (3d print, etc.), and so on and so forth. I'm learning some Spanish, more coding, more photography and photo editing, etc. Lastly, I can share my stories of bike trips, my experiences in Taiwan, and my highschool experience(?). I love learning about basically anything, so I'm definitely open to finding my next hobby.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Any of the things I've listed above, as much story swapping as you would like, and probably some good food I've discovered along the way (no promises though).

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, Japan, Taiwan, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

Taiwan, United States
