About Me

I love:
1. Adorable little kids! I'm a bilingual teacher candidate and I just can't resist the urge of hugging whenever a kid pouts.
2. Photography: I love portraits and snapshot. I love to just take a super long walk in a city that is new to me and capture its life and light. I might have the worst sense of direction among all people you know, but with my savior (Google map), I've literally WALKED New York city.
3. Bilingual education and intercultural communication: I love what I study. The splash of cultures always gives me new insights to things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Currently I'm looking for someone to go backpack-travel with in early May this summer. Places I have in mind are: 1. Mexico and Cuba 2. China

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

They are all equally amazing to me LoL! Like getting trapped in cab during a riot in in Cairo and survived, giving free hugs my last night in St. Petersburg, getting drunk in Barcelona and Key West and didn't spill the shameful truth LoL. And also, I rejected an offer from Harvard University if that counts.
