I'm a Student at Portland State University. I was born in China but I've lived in Portland my entire life. I'm studying art because I'm interested in exploring ideas of expression and creativity. I don't have a medium or a focus because I find that to be limiting and I'm currently in a period of exploration and discovery.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

I've hit a point in my life where I'm like "I need to get out of my house and explore the world." I'm interested in meeting new people and sharing experiences. I can be a little shy and I want to break out of my shell and be a more confident person.

Интересы

I like to snowboard in the wintertime. It's all about that Mountain Hood here in the Northwest. Other Northwest hobbies include backpacking, fishing, and taking it easy.

Музыка, кино и книги

Currently, I'm obsessed with Alabama Shakes. I just love their upbeat, feel good sound and I can't seem to turn it off. Norah Jones, Alt-J, The Decembrists, and M. Ward are also in my "Just sitting around the house reading a book" playlist. The playlist is actually just called "chill" but it's what I listen to when I'm just sitting around the house reading a book. Obviously.

As for books, I recently just went to Goodwill and happened upon the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo trilogy in hardcover for only $15. So I've been locked on the couch working my way through them. My favorite books include the Kite Runner, Catcher in the Rye, and anything written by Dan Brown.

I like action and adventure movies. If there are explosions and an intense chase seen I'm all about it. I also like thriller/suspense movies as well as cerebral. If it's a cerebral thriller, even better! My top movies this year are Gone Girl, Her, and Ex-Machina.
