About Me

CURRENT MISSION

relax and hang with my family

ABOUT ME

I'm a proud native Austinite. Like all good Austinites, I love music and the outdoors. I love riding bicycles, and sometimes I have an extra one you can borrow. I also go to see local, live music in Austin.

I took an international trip in 2009, and I lived in China in 2012. Those experiences made me very interested in different languages, cultures, politics, and of course food. Hosting is my way traveling while I'm spending some time living here in my hometown, Austin, TX.
