About Me

I have a small condo so space is limited. For the surfer, you'll have access to a private bedroom but the rest of the space is shared.

ABOUT ME
I am a Chinese Canadian living in the US now. I respect and would love to learn about different cultures. My lifetime passion is diving - be it scuba or freediving. My dream is to retire from the tech industry one day and teach scuba diving in somewhere warm.

I am learning Spanish now and would love to make more Spanish-speaking friends. That said, anyone from any background is welcome. However, due to my limited availability, I may not be able to host everyone who requests to stay with me.

PHILOSOPHY
-El camino para ser feliz es ser feliz durante el camino

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only surfed a few times in the past but I really loved the experience. Now that I am pretty settled in Seattle I want to host more people and make more friends.

Interests

I love diving beyond any interests. Besides that, I'm interested in many sports, tennis being my favorite, followed by rock climbing, surfing, etc. Photography is also fun to do especially underwater.
