Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people from around the world and make friends. The experience is a great one! I have traveled all over Taiwan, including Taipei, Taichung and Kenting. I have also been to Seoul, Korea both in the winter time and the springtime and twice to Okinawa, Japan. I have also visited Hong Kong and Boracay Island in the Philippines. Also, I am familiar with California and the United States. I have lived in San Francisco and also traveled to New York City. I have been to San Diego, Santa Barbara and Las Vegas. Let me guide you when you come!

Interests

I'm a quirky kind of character with interests ranging from learning Braille to collecting furniture. I love travel, meeting new people and learning new languages. I also would learn to cook! Bring your recipes from your country and let's enjoy it!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
All 80s movies including ones I haven't watched yet.
Old Movies: Breakfast at Tiffany's (though questionable now because after reading the book by Truman Capote I realize how chauvanist it is)
Foreign movies, movies where they make you use your brain: Memento (10 stars!); Limitless Movies with a twist to the ending (but not an obvious one like Sixth Sense): Gossip (surprise ending)

Books: Flowers for Algernon, The Color Purple, My Sister's Keeper, dystopic futuristic novels, science fiction puke and cheesy romance novels

Songs: Foreign music sung in a different tongue where I don't have any idea what they're saying but I appreciate it anyway and can learn a new language while studying the lyrics.

TV shows: Three's Company (family favorite, grew up on it, have the entire collection and all episodes memorized), Boston Legal (Law and Order with a twist complete with David Spader's wry wit and William Shatner's dumbness), Grey's Anatomy (ER but with sex scandals), Twilight Zone

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been teaching English abroad in Asia for three years. It's an amazing experience and I am currently writing a memoir about it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a zest for learning languages. Please teach me your language! Whatever you speak, I would like to learn! If you only speak English, that's ok! I can teach you another language! I can speak Chinese and Spanish. Do you want to improve your English? I will teach you!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I offer are the experiences I have had in life. I hope you can live vicariously through me as I can shed light on the different cultures I have encountered in my lifetime and share funny stories with you. I can offer to host you in the future, and I can also offer travel information.
