About Me

Born Taiwanese, bred in British Hong Kong, spent my adult years in California, New York, and now London. I've always traveled and always will.

I am new to couchsurfing, but understand the meaning of community, openness, acceptance, communication, and the thirst for curiosity as a means to stretch yourself through the eyes of others.

Recently, I've made the decision to leave my corporate job and fulfill that spiritual calling towards vagabondism. I am giving Couchsurfing a try after many likeminded friends have highly recommended it. I ask that take you leap of faith on me, with no expectations on my end but openness.

I spend a lot of time thinking about...

Mindfulness. Motivation. Compassion. Travels. Growth. Gratitude.
How to create more meaning in life.
Love. Life.
All the things I'm thankful for, the feel of the sun on my skin, and the breeze tousling my hair.

Currently living in London. I thrive on the pace of weaving through city streets but also the act of lying in the grass/beach/____ and being present. Anywhere I can get sun and see a sunset = yes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Community, deeper understanding of local cultures, nomadic energy exchange and eventually giving back.

Interests

Yoga. Music. Family, friends, and understanding the world through the lens of others.
Curiosity. Connection. Exploration.
