CURRENT MISSION

To empower young people to travel and explore the world!

ABOUT ME

I LOVE meeting new people and I have a genuine passion for traveling. I have been traveling since I was 1 years old and have only grown to travel more and more as years have gone by.

I was born and raised in Northern California in Cupertino, the home of Apple Computers - in the heart of Silicon Valley. You could only imagine how fascinating it was to have grown up during the whole tech boom. I moved down to Los Angeles for College 4 years ago and absolutely loved it, so I decided to stay and have been here since then! I am now working in the dance, fashion and entertainment industry in Los Angeles and have met some of the most diverse and interesting people.

Currently, I am in the process of starting my own business as this is one of my dreams in life...aside from traveling the world of course. :) I love sharing business ideas with like-minded individuals. I also enjoy having deep conversations about anything and everything related to their passion in life!

In my free time, I enjoy dancing, discovering new eateries, exploring, working on business projects and having tea to catch up with friends.

PHILOSOPHY

If you judge people, you have no time to Love them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to show foreigners around Los Angeles and meet new people (especially locals) in all my travel destinations to exchange stories about the differences in our lives, culture and communities!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am totally new to couch surfing and decided to try it when a friend introduced it to me! I have done various home stay programs aboard and have really enjoyed the experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My trip to Morocco. I LOVED the cultural clash and the diversity there. One of the most fascinating places I have ever traveled to.

I was also a Student Ambassador of the USA at the APEC Conference in Lima, Peru in 2008. I have never thought I would ever be able to interview and chat with some of the most powerful politicians and business leaders in the world, let alone, meet them! I was so honored to have been selected to attend the conference last year. It was definitely one of my most memorable experience up-to-date.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to dance or start your own business, if you teach me a new language or share interesting memories/stories with me! :)
