About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I am currently enjoying the world around me, and I am looking foward to meeting new people!

ABOUT ME

This may sound cheezy, but I'm a person who really really loves life. I love it. There are just so many things to experience and do, and I can't wait to experience and do as much as I can.

PHILOSOPHY

I was relaxing in the grass listening to music one fine summer day thinking, "How nice it would be if I could chill like this all the time." I think this experience really highlights my life philosophy. I know that life can get hectic and stressful, but I am a firm believer in the importance of rest, relaxation, and taking time for yourself.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted some amazing people, and I am really looking forward to hosting more people in the future!

Interests

Multiculturalism, the randomness of life, learning Japanese, wanting to learn Chinese, fencing, tennis, running, international affairs, hanging out with friends, hot apple cider, hamsters, flaming liberals, trying not to humiliate myself, fake stories, talking to my grandma on the phone, attempting to buy a bunny.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

To be honest, I have no idea. Hopefully something more substantial will come to mind later.

Teach, Learn, Share

One thing that I love about CS is the fact that site provides ample opportunities for cultural exchange. I really encourage people to take advantage of that aspect of CS because it is truly rewarding!
