I am a person full of maybe too many interests and too much curiosity. I love to explore new things/places, get to know different people, and it seems I just cannot stay in one place for too long. I came to the States two years ago for grad school, and I have jumped from Tourism/Hospitality to City Planning. I also spent half a year in New York City during my program, and know something about the city. I am a fast learner and I like experimenting on cooking, taking photos, learning about the space, behavioral studies, environmental psychology, flower arrangement, learning languages and different sports (I just took classes in Karate and Archery!), and exchanging opinions/discussing things from politics to useless life thinking/philosophy. Generally I cannot get enough learning things I have never tried.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My first Couchsurfing experience was in Mombasa, Kenya in 2013 when I was volunteering as an AIESEC exchange student. My friend helped us to find the host when we were traveling, and it was one of my greatest experiences. Since then I have been hoping to host/couchsurf but didn't get the chance to. Now that I have graduated from my crazy grad school program, I am excited to finally join this community.
