About Me

Hi! I'm your typical millennial girl trying to understand how I fit into this huge world. I currently work as an engineer in a tech startup in San Francisco and in my free time I dance, have fun with friends, converse about how to make society better and try to volunteer at non profits. I will be volunteering to teach kids to code this coming September and I'm very excited about it.

I've travelled to around 15 countries across Asia, Europe and North america but I feel I've barely touched the surface. I'm still experimenting with the whole concept of couchsurfing, and I love the idea of exploring the city through a local's perspective but the idea of meeting strangers and living at their place is quite intimidating.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to open my horizons to new experiences and I believe that one way to do that is through meeting people. I have very little experience actually couchsurfing except from connections with friends but would hope to meet people who can shed more light onto the experience and stories.

Interests

I really believe in always pursuing passions regardless of what they are or how late you start. I've been actively pursuing dance, I've been swing dancing for the past 2 years and have recently picked up pole dance as a hobby.
I've travelled across North America and attended various swing dance socials and festivals. Would love to talk about it more when we meet!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the dolomites mountain terranes in Italy last year, it was the most gorgeous mountain terrain I've ever seen.
