Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on an exchange programme in the US and decided CS would be a great way to meet and live with people here. I think CS's philosophy of warmly treating and making new friends from complete strangers amazing and intriguing. I would love to learn from you, whether pop culture, travel, politics etc.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you Mandarin and piano! Did you know I was both a piano teacher and a Mandarin teaching intern? ;D Recently, I interned at an elder care firm so I can share what I've learnt about healthcare for the elderly. I read a whole lot of manga so I can give you a good recommendation.
