CURRENT MISSION

To not sustain life-threatening injuries whilst travelling

ABOUT ME

Gosh, this is eerily similar to when I filled out a profile for a dating site. Let's see... I'm medium-height, blue-eyed, with handsome dark brown handsome... Ahm. I can be pretty wacky or a little quieter, depending on my mood. I love meeting new people, and listening to their stories. I can be a pretty private person, and often don't share things about myself unless people ask. I try strange things. In the past, this has included ballroom dance, polyphasic sleep, improv, a cappella, taking a course at my school on Punjabi cinema. If this bothers you, I can pretend to be normal!

PHILOSOPHY

Always go uphill.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Crash some couches and hopefully provide one in the next while!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to Couchsurfing. But I have stayed at people's homes in the past, and it is always (usually) a fantastic experience. I find the best provide a good mix of alone time (I need to recharge) and let's-go-do-something time.

Interests

I think I listed some weird ones above, but some more standard things include: photography, bicycling, drinking and smoking (not cigarettes, gross!), dancing (D&B is about the most energetic I can do), walking (it's a thing), amusement parks, language learning.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the sunrise on Haleakala Mountain.
Looking over Hong Kong's dense cityscape from the Peak.
Skydiving for the first time just east of San Francisco.

Teach, Learn, Share

Nobody ever uses the Beijing Language and Culture University cafeteria's west-most elevator. Try it, it's always empty.
