Currently nearing the end of a 16 month journey that began in Australia and extended throughout Asia. My family relocated numerous times throughout my childhood, it taught me to be a traveler and to see the beauty of everywhere I go to claim it all "home". My college years opened my mind to even more things with the travel opportunities I was able to obtain. I respect all ideas and philosophies as long as the respect is mutual. I love art, music, and simply learning things- anything! the world is so small yet so big! I want to see it all and help others see it as well! From my travels I learned that each person in this world has their unique stories to tell, by talking to people we are also being granted permission to peek into the universe of another, it is a privilege that I cherish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish to travel and learn of the stories of the places and people I encounter. I am currently planning a working holiday in Australia with my boyfriend and would love to join a community of altruistic people to start our journey

Interests

I love crafts, and new experiences. Not the adrenaline junkie in a physical way, but one in social ways. I enjoy stepping out of my comfort zone and keeping an open mind to different ideas and values.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have lived in four countries so far.

I have experienced 5 New Years( different calendars and celebrations) in one year.

I have travelled to rural Nepal and experienced something that resembled time travel. Fell absolutely in love with the people

I have interpreted for "the china man" from Ocean's Eleven at one of his performances with the Peking Acrobats.

Thanks to a friend I have acquired on Linkedin, I was able to go on a tour at DreamWorks Animations campus!

Teach, Learn, Share

I play the chinese zither, know about sewing, ceramics, film photography, and lots of other miscellaneous arts! I also speak mandarin, Cantonese, English, conversational Japanese, and a bit of Spanish from highschool. If you want to learn any of the above I'd be more than happy to teach!
My knowledge is way too predominantly East Asian, help me get out of this bubble! i'm down to learn ANYTHING!
