Hi! I was born and raised in Queens, NY. I've lived and worked abroad long-term, and enjoy meeting people from various backgrounds and cultures! Currently I am based in Taiwan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be adventurous, meet new people, and exchange experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

I grew up playing piano and violin but these days I listen to a lot of house music (Spotify keeps recommending me house music that are popular in Norway and Sweden ) 🎶 I don't watch TV shows as often but the ones I do like to watch are The Good Place, Black Mirror, Bojack Horseman, and Shark Tank. Some movies I've enjoyed include: Gone Girl, The Girl on the Train, The Shack, Cloud Atlas, The Blind Side, Big Fish, Elysium, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Hacksaw Ridge.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left New York when I was 12 to move to Taiwan to be with my family. Went from attending public school in NY my whole life to living in this school in the mountains on the other side of the world where I wasn't as fluent in the language or familiar with the culture then. It was very difficult but thanks to that experience, I got to explore the outdoors more, pushed my comfort zones, and became more adaptable. I guess it's not exactly what comes to my mind initially for what's "amazing" but it was a tough experience.
