About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy living in Shanghai

ABOUT ME

I'm one of those good girls who grew up in a church community when I was a teenager. I used to have a fantastic career, a fun boyfriend who loves me, and a great family who always supports me. Well, all that changed when I lost my job, then I decided to leave everything behind and travel some - well, a lot. So far so good - I'm surviving and loving it :). A lot of times my friends would ask me what I plan to do. Well, ya know, from experience, I figured that planning my life is a big time waster - nothing ever went the way I planned, EVER... So for all ya folks who are doing well on your tracks. Good for you! As for me, I feel that God planned to get rid of my planning habit, so here I am...

PHILOSOPHY

seriously?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to have a nice big apartment 10 min drive from Texas Hill Country in San Antonio - but no one wants to couchsurf with me in San Antonio till 2 weeks after I have moved out to Houston... Oh well, so much for that...I think by the time I finish my current travel and get back to settling down with a job, I will be able to have more surfers since now I got more than 0 references :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Anyways, so this couchsurfing thing didn't sound very real to me... While traveling in Europe I met some couchsurfers and then realized there are actually couchsurfers - just not that many in Texas, so I started to try and I think so far I like it....

Interests

swing dancing swing dancing swing dancing... and other hobbies (like traveling ;) )

  • dancing
  • swing dancing
  • traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

Perhaps like all Asian American kids, I grew up playing piano. During my years in school I sang in choir. After college, I picked up swing dancing and have been doing that ever since...

Oh, and I don't watch a lot of movies. I don't have a TV and when I'm home I like to go out all the time. So there is no need of a TV in my apartment :)

I don't usually like books unless it's something that I have to read - a result from burned out after years of schooling

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

so far on this trip is definitely the tented hotel in Sahara desert!

Teach, Learn, Share

It was racism that opened my mind to the world
