Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
See the world, learn cultures, meet good people, and spread smiles.
ABOUT ME
I like the outdoors, music, tasty meals, good conversation, exploring the world, the list goes on! I am easy going and fun loving. A good listener and very open minded. I like photography, scuba diving, hiking, reading, playing the guitar or piano or drums or anything that makes noise. I love my family (mom, dad, sister, dog, extended family, close friends), and I love making new friends. I can be a wall flower, or I can help get the conversation going.
PHILOSOPHY
Smile :) and make others smile.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I open my door to other couchsurfers :) I love the idea, and have met and talked to a lot of fun people on here and received great advice about the places I have been visiting. I am very open to meeting other couch surfers and having them stay at my house. I love the relationships I have made so far.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Teach, Learn, Share
I am a good listener. I've spent 10 years in Hong Kong/china. I speak conversational Mandarin and fluent English. If I have music skills that can be passed on, I will pass them on. I have a lot to learn! And I will share anything I can.
