Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Planning for a trip to South America later in the year!
ABOUT ME
I am a psychologist by training, primarily working with kids and adults with autism. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling to new places and meeting new people.
I am a real easy-going person, really. I am the kind of person open to all kinds of experience. I just love trying out new things!
PHILOSOPHY
Live your life full of great memories, without regret.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
When I was an exchange student in Germany, I was introduced this cool platform of meeting people and broadening my travel experiences. I love this way of sharing cultures to people around the world.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I think CS is really the kind of traveling I love to do - traveling not just to see new places, but also sharing the experience with great people.
Interests
I love all kinds of music, classical, comtemporary, R & B, jazz; instrumental, vocal, choral, etc.
I am a classically trained pianist. Sang in choirs and a capella groups and played in wind bands before.
I also enjoy going outdoors, jogging, biking, hiking, going to the beach (missing Florida!).
Cooking is both my pastime and daily routine. My adventurous self always puts me in random restaurants trying brand new food items from a new culture!

Music, Movies, and Books
Classical composers: Johannes Brahms, Beethoven, Bach, Schubert
Pianists: Krystian Zimerman, Alfred Brendel, Rudu Lupu
As I age, I find myself more in light jazz and soul music. Just want to broaden my musical interests.
Love movies too...like Inception, Toystory 3...
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
To a guy who only have 5 years of driving experience, I think it is pretty impressive that I drove my 2000 Honda to all the states on the east coast (except Maine, bummer!).
