An open-minded and adventurous soul, an easy-going and friendly persona, as well as an extrovert with seclusive spirit.

I want/try to live my life to the fullest. I have an insatiable love for traveling and exploring. My interests are wide and varied. I love arts, music and reading. I love food🌮🌯🌭🍔🥪🍣🥩🍖🥓🧀🍳🥞 (can barely cook though) and have a big sweet tooth🍧🍨🍦🥧🧁🍰🍮🍫🍩🍪

I can make some wacky jokes and weave many a tale.... I enjoy good company, and also “Me” quality time. I love laughing at any and everything, meeting like-minded people and making friends.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people, to imbibe in the local cultures/rituals, to exchange viewpoints, to enjoy shared interests, and to have great time together. Let each and every encounter become big genuine personal assets that nobody can take away from me.

As an inquisitive person, I don't know why I would venture out if not to make connections with people as I go :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Thanks to my “immense” Latin fantasy, I had two epic trips to South America and Central America 2 years in a row, 4 & 3 months+ each, despite my “muy poco” Español (which still sucks). The once-in-a-lifetime travel experience is priceless and beyond my wildest dreams.

Teach, Learn, Share

- TEACH: Mandarin
- LEARN: language (Spanish), dancing (salsa/bachata) and musical instruments (guitar/ukulele)
- SHARE: good laughters, and good company for exploring (aimless strolls in the city and/or trail hikes in the nature)
