To go to places with skies for miles

"Amazing cook, can whip anything in 30 minutes" "Gluten-intolerant so cooks often" "Wonderful in bed XD" "Loves her Xbox" "Loves cats" "Sweet"
Really, it's all an egotrip when I want a smile to get me through the day :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'll host my place soon enough. Feeding my Aquarian wanderlust streak!

Interests

Meeting amazing people who travelled a lot, best friends in too many countries, music, industrial and app design (I'm a freelance UI designer), talking about politics, how to shape a better world, finishing goals, gaming, just the act of love and being courteous and nice to people no matter where they are from.
I write poetry, sometimes poetry slam, make glitchy beats and am always planning my next trip!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting soaked by a thundercloud directly above me when friends and I were on a distant island off Singapore. Nature always reminds us how grand, frightening and beautiful it is.
The birthday parties I've had in the last 3 years, whether planned for me or for others - have left me awestruck with the amount of caring and kinship everyone has for each other
Seeing a korean sunrise in 15C weather when I was on a short study exchange trip

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach cooking under 30 mins, elementary Japanese, front-end programming, how to tell a joke with a straight face, why Starbucks is like Walmart - only nicer smelling, and the alter-depressing politics of media and its influences. On a nicer note, I love furry animals, cats, ferrets, and huge dogs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Cooking, acerbic wit, poetry, travel stories, life in Toronto and SE Asia
I'm a mostly real person on twitter @Sarasideup
