END CHILD POVERTY & HUNGER

I like to make new friends, but I can be shy!!!! (=^.^=) But once I get to know somebody well, I am pretty noisy. Haha!!

Every new friend I meet in life is a gift. I believe in fate! There are approximately 7 billion people on this planet and I get to meet you! It is amazing! I cherish all relationships in life, especially after losing my younger brother in a hit and run accident. Perhaps life is not how long you lived, but how well you lived your life. I will live my life doubly well, for him.

PHILOSOPHY

Nobody should be responsible for other people's insecurities. I wish them the power to find happiness within themselves.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am still a student so as much as I would love to host CSers, that would have to wait till I have my own apartment. In the meantime, I hope I can meet more people who love CS as much as I do. Hang out/ do stuff/ make more friends/ do good etc.....^^
