ABOUT ME

Hm what to say, probably best to get an idea by reading all the other sections! ;) But I can be a bowl of contradictions. To put it in my friend Krystal's style, I'm quiet yet talkative, mellow yet excitable, melancholic yet happy, a realist and a dreamer, alone but not lonely, an introverted adventurer, and can enjoy a bar or a bookstore equally as much.

PHILOSOPHY

Best stated by a Calvin and Hobbes quote: "In the short term it would make me happy to go play outside. In the long term, it would make me happier to do well at school and become successful. But in the very long term, I know which will make better memories."

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like to get more involved in the CS community since moving to the Central Coast and attend more local events. Planning on traveling again in the summer and would love to meet new CS friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed via globalfreeloaders.com before joining couchsurfing.org while backpacking through Europe in 2004 and that was an amazing experience. Hosted and met some couchsurfers while living in DC in 2006.
