I am a American college student studying International Relations with an Asian Studies minor/focus. I have many friends in China that I have met over the years. I've spent a quit bit of time in Beijing and Shanghai, but I really want to see the rest of China and the world. Deep down I love to explore interesting places and eat new food. I'm always up for an adventure, yet I enjoy the quiet moments of traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet people! So meeting a friend who LOVES couch surfing and couldn't say good enough things about it. So I thought why not take the leap and try it out!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loved someone with everything I have... it was far greater then climbing the great wall over a dozen times.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach some card games, Chinese phrases, American cooking and numerous random useless things. I love to learn about local culture, politics, cooking and society! And I'm not sure what I could share but if you need something I'd be willing to help if I can.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love heart to hearts so if we become friends I just might be open to share about my life! I can also share about American culture and life. I'm a pretty open and giving person so mi casa es tu casa!
