我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None really, have stayed with someone and hosted another via this website, but I knew both people first.

兴趣

I am a very political person and like to engage with issues that affect marginalized populations. Recently I've been learning a lot about immigration, immigration detention, asylum and refugee issues through some volunteer work; in the past I worked with a collective that sent free books to people in prison and got to know about work that activists do on that front. I love languages; I hope that one day I can get this rocky Mandarin to a higher, more proficient level. It's not all serious social issues and East Asian languages, though, I spend a fair amount of time binge-watching tv series and reading comedy nonsense online (the-toast, random comedian twitter feeds), snacking, drinking coffee, beer, wine, and whiskey.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I mentioned the books to prisoners project I was involved in; reading letters from people in prison can be amazing. Taiwan's Taroko Gorge is also one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

The pleasure of my company....?(I hope you'll think) If you want to host a friendly person who's happy to make coffee and conversation in the morning, and do something during my stay if you have time, that's what I have to offer.
