Californiasian at large, currently based in NYC & Beijing. When I'm not listening to podcasts in bed or catching some sun, you can find me out with friends, waxing philosophical while metabolizing saturated fats and alcohol

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet laid back, humorous people from around the world who are up for serendipitous moments and fresh adventures!

Interests

I enjoy spontaneous adventures with eccentric people, and I'm a sucker for nostalgia, so i spend a lot of my time keeping in touch with my friends around the world. Apart from that, I try to juggle a few books simultaneously, usually switching back and forth between a fiction and nonfiction book, meet some new friends, and ask strange questions.
