Music, Movies, and Books
When it comes to music, my taste ranges from old songs to new ones; so long as it has really catchy, great beats or beautiful touching lyrics and especially when it has both - GOLD! ABBA is my absolute favorite, one thing I shared in common with my late mother; "My Way" by Sinatra was my late father's favorite song that he can repeat multiple times and sing along! Music is a huge part of my life growing up. For me, music is memories and feelings ❤🎶 My go to song when I'm down is "Dancing in the Moonlight;" never fail to cheer me up😊
And yes, I'm one of those people who love books more than movies especially when it's an adaptation. I used to read a lot when I was younger way past my bed time under the cover with a torchlight or I'd sneak in my mom's bathroom to read while she's sleeping when I used to sleep with her. As I grow older I developed a love for writing especially poems, haiku, short write-ups, letters, etc. I'm a self-proclaimed logolepsy!📚📚
When it comes to movies; I appreciate the horror, supernatural, psychological, mysteries, comedy and action genre. I also love Disney movies and fairytales - it's the only way I get my happy endings❤
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Traveling alone to NYC and Washington DC from my hometown Geneseo when I was 17; also solo travelling to Malaysian states, Bali, Singapore and hopefully many more adventures now with my son and/or with friends!
Teach, Learn, Share
I think I'm an average teacher and a faster learner. Saying that, I tutor refugees on English and teach Drama as therapy.
I would like to learn all the recipes in the world! Collect authentic recipe and made them to share it with everyone. Also, I'm a proud soup kitchen helper!
I love to share and exchange travel stories. I wish to travel the world someday; got a lot of places to check off my list 😊
What I Can Share with Hosts
I am the best person you can host! 😁 I am polite and respectful of your space. I don't mind helping out with any chores. I'll keep the space that you offer me; neat and tidy. I'll cook you yummy food and I'd love to learn your dishes as well. I'm a fun and easy going person; I gel well with almost everyone! Hopefully with you, too! I'd love to make lasting friendships💛
