Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started surfing around 2009 and enjoyed hosting very frequently back in College in Savannah, GA around 2010.
Surfed and blessed by so many wonderful couchsurfers in Puerto Rico, US virgin islands, Amsterdam, Ukraine, Cambodia, Slovakia and Italia, have met up with people in NYC, Spain and Beijing, Vietnam and so many more....
and so far, most of it has been PURE MAGICAL.

Now I'm living in NYC and would love to meet up with kind-hearted people that are different than me, wether you are loving or hating NY :P

Interests

art, film, food, music, books , dance all night or chat all night under the stars

spontaneous adventures in new cultures where I wouldn't even understand their alphabet, running in the rain in midnight Brooklyn, searching for the best fried chicken in bed-stuy, sharing random sunset with old friends - or strangers walking their dogs. Hiking and climbing in the mountains feeling the clouds slipping through your fingers, camping on the beach, biking on frozen lakes in wintery Beijing ....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Beijing, I volunteered in a school for mentally disabled people, I help them draw and listen to the music and prepare lunch etc . It was a bittersweet job but with great rewarding feeling overall. Life truly is a miracle. in New York, my roommate and her crew got commissioned by MOBY to direct his music video , "The Right Thing". and I got to play some parts in it :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share....well, my shoe size is 39 in case you need to borrow shoes ! ( which happens more often than one think ;)
