I was born and raised in Hawaii, but now live in NYC.

My ideal day would start off by basking in the sun during brunch, followed by impromptu gallery hopping. After that, I would either be at a music concert or Broadway show. And if I'm not tired by the end of the show, you can find me dancing in tiny fog-filled rooms at the discotheque wearing my trusty leather jacket.

I'm rarely home because there's so many things to do in the city. It's so overwhelming, but I love it! On the other hand, I could always go for a low key night with netflix or playing my piano with a warm cup of tea.

I work at a video production agency as an Art Director.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I LOVE planning itineraries for my friends. I'm sure for tourists, it can be quite overwhelming to figure out what to do, so I try to always make their stay the most efficient—while also adding some spontaneous free parties and events around the city into that mix. There's rarely a day that I come home early, right after work. (Yes, the FOMO struggle is real. Haha...!!!)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My last surf was in Berlin in February 2017! I had so much fun—now that the world is healing I just want to travel every where again!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It's not an achievement, but I managed to get into accident on a *STATIONARY* bike and be hospitalized for 5 days. Who knew that could ever happen? ಠ_ಠ

But wait, there's more... so two weeks after I was in a hospital, I planned a nearly 24hr road trip from NYC to Atlanta for a music festival all the while still learning how to use a cane. I couldn't back out from this festival coz I already threw hundreds of dollars for a ticket, but fortunately, my temporary disability granted me VIP camping and other perks for me and my friends! *rolls by in my private golf cart* :)

Teach, Learn, Share

You see things; and ask, "Why?'" But I dream of things that never were; and ask, "Why not?"
