Why I’m on Couchsurfing

People person. Been relatively active in the Couchsurfing community since 2015, I'm not only using it to meet travel buddies, seeking local adventures, or having fun/intellectual conversations at the local meetups; hosting weekly couch surfer events (since 2017) when I'm not traveling has also been a major part of how I enjoy the Couchsurfing platform. Those fun times where we had blasts at board game nights, potlucks, and drink and draw events have ensured an argument for my self-exploration that I love learning through various lenses from people coming from different cultural backgrounds. I love the sense of community; I shall as well contribute to and create it. And now—I love creating it a little bit more day by day.

Interests

- Long walks: coming from a notion “Practise” in Buddism, walk the walk, feel the walk, appreciate the walk. But yeah, I am simply a passionate walker in general!
- Museums and galleries exploreration: I (part-time) work as an art curator, and I mean who can ever get bored of them?!
- Music scenes: Playing piano since 5, embrace all things related to music: outdoor music events, livehouse, lounge, bar, club (if right people right mood), etc, count me in, please.
- Urban adventures: interested in urban legend stories, history, political affairs, architecture, gentrification, dating culture, etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Chinese language: I voiceover games, commercials and (part-time) voice train people professionally for radio and television. Great time language lover. So if you like to learn some Chinese, I'd be more than glad to teach and share my culture.

- Piano lesson: Learn one of the most famous pop songs in the 90s in 10 minutes with me? Yep. 10 minutes. Besides that, I'm working on jamming. If you do music, let's jam!
