About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Have good conversation and eat a nice meal with someone. Let others see how I live and to hear about how they live

ABOUT ME

I love food. The only time I get truly upset to the point of tears is when I can't eat what I want, or cannot make up my mind.---> I know, it's strange, but it's better than getting upset over everything else. Don't you think?

So that's a fault...what about a good thing.. hmmm
I like my nails.

PHILOSOPHY

Why do I live my life?
So someone else doesn't live it for me.

My philosophy?
I'm sure someone else had this before...To live and let live, but knowing where you are and caring for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far, I met two couch surfers from France. It was so much fun. There were four of us total and we went to try to hike a mountain and see a traditional village in South Korea. The day was beautiful, the conversation was great, and our personalities all matched. Even when things didn't go exactly our way; for example, the trail we wanted to hike was on fire for maintenance purposes, so we hitch-hiked with a monk to a traditional village instead.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One amazing thing...
...I have seen is me truly living my life.

...I have done is learn one song on guitar (I know it doesn't seem so fantastic, but I was so excited!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm hoping I could learn a few more chords.
I'm hoping I could teach new words/phrases to people who want to learn other languages (and visa versa).
Maybe I could pick up new card games--they are always cool to share
