I'm easy to get along with and adaptable and resourceful. Generally tactless and can be brutally honest, but I'm well practiced in the art of holding my tongue.

Labels I relate to: vegan, straight-edge, queer, demisexual, trans: neutrois/agender, cycling enthusiast, motorcyclist. Male pronouns preferred. Neutral also acceptable. But I'm not going to police you about it.

I neither drink nor smoke. Drinking gives me headaches and smoking is just horrible.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

It's a unique opportunity to connect with people you might otherwise never meet.

兴趣

Nothing makes me happier than bombing down a well-paved hill or mountainside on my bicycle. That said, I will ride most things on two wheels, and I love being outdoors, but especially in the water or overlooking the ocean. I have an appreciation for mountains as well, especially if there are lakes or rivers, but much more so if they're covered in snow. Animals have always fascinated me, but I've started taking an interest in plants as well.

Indoors, I enjoy the challenge of learning new languages and figuring out how to do things (knitting/crochet, tinkering on vehicles, building things in general). I'm pretty good with bicycles, though I used to be better.
Being a vegan, I've also gotten pretty good at baking and cooking and I try to be as inclusive as possible when cooking for others. I'm also happy to play any board game with a good group of people; I might forget the rules after every time I play, but I learn them just as quickly.

教，学，和分享

My knowledge base is broad, not deep. I'd like to learn everything, and I'm willing to try and teach anything I know, even if I don't know it all that well.

Teach: English, Chinese (maybe?), knitting/crocheting, swimming, bicycle related things, and vegan cooking and baking.

Learn: any language, parkour/free-running, scuba-diving, basically anything you're willing to teach me!

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm pretty good at cooking and baking vegan - could probably do gluten-free too if I'm told in advance! I'm also happy to fix bicycles, assist with housework, lend a hand in wrenching on projects you're working on, and, of course, regale you with stories of my travels. If you have any cuddly-ish pets (eg: cats, dogs, birds, snakes, etc), I'd be more than happy to help you care for them.
