About Me

I am 23 years old. Ticking off places on my bucket list, one city at a time! I did most of my undergraduate studies in the U.S. but had the most amazing time finishing off my degrees at the University of Sydney last year. I have gotten to see a lot of Australia and am so grateful for the opportunity! Now... just trying to figure life out and my next steps, while on the road again. Any inspiration or job ideas welcome!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When plans change and I have nowhere to stay!
But I really love meeting new people from all around the world, learning about new cultures, languages, food, etc. I find it is a more sure way of getting to know people while traveling, as opposed to hostels or hotels where you may or may not meet people. I only started traveling on my own about two years ago, but in these two years I've seen so much and don't ever want to stop.
I think couchsurfing is a great way to become a part of the city and perhaps learn more about what it is like to live locally.
New connections and friendships are the best part about every place that I've been to!

Interests

The arts-- culinary, dance, singing, playing instruments, painting/drawing, fashion/design.... just learning in general :)
I love animals, being active, listening to music, and trying new things.
Traveling and learning languages and different cuisines are my current "things" (:
I love going out and meeting new people as well!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music- I love EDM and pop! Concerts and music festivals are one of my favorite things to attend (if I can scrap up the money for it haha).

Books- James Patterson is one of my all time favorite authors. I don't really ever read much anymore though!

Movies- I'm picky... I like dramas mostly. I like some comedies, action and sci-fi. Hate romance and horror.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to explore the Kimberleys of Western Australia, driving down the Gibb River Road... what a story that was!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach any languages I know, share recipes, and would love to learn/get better at any language I encounter!
If there are any business skills and collaborations that can happen as well, I am always open to learning and exchanging skills and ideas.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can help cook, clean, anything! I will be as clean and respectful of your space as possible. Please let me know what I can do or how I can help, as I want to avoid overstepping.
I can also teach you any languages that I know or am trying to learn. I speak English as my base language, Cantonese with my family. I have studied Spanish and Italian in school, but my fluency fluctuates depending on the amount of practice that I get/if I'm in the country of the language or not.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, France, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, Hong Kong, Italy, United States
