Hello! I'm a California native looking to travel to as many new places as I can. I'm a biracial mix of Lebanese and Taiwanese, which is a great thing because eating hummus with chopsticks is totally underrated.

Places I've travelled to so far:

USA: California, Nevada, Tennessee, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Hawaii

Other countries: China, Lebanon, Costa Rica, Mexico, UK, Canada

Some fun facts about me:

- I'm a 1st degree black belt in Taekwondo
- I almost got thrown off a running horse on a beach in Mexico. I still like horseback riding!
- I'm terrified of whales.
- I make a pretty solid chocolate ganache cheesecake
- I can play the piano and the trumpet. Badly.
- I've seen fireworks in many different places - My hometown on 4th of July, at Disneyland in LA, in New York from above while flying in a plane, on the beach in Vancouver, Canada, and from the rooftop of a building in Portland, Oregon.

I also love international cuisine, people-watching, comedy, and afternoon tea. Gratitude is my attitude and I truly believe that laughter is the best medicine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What I Can Share with Hosts

As a Couchsurfer, I can share with you some of my favorite jokes and comedians.
