I'm an open, earth-loving person who enjoys good food, good company and good conversation. I was born in Burma, grew up in NYC and I feel most at home wearing chacos, hiking, and being out in nature. I really love being on the water and will never pass up an opportunity to be on boats, canoes, kayaks, etc. Also, I'm into all things social and environmental justice. I get to laugh lots in my work supporting college students to build campus food co-ops.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people and feeling like a local when I travel! I like learning about people and listening to stories. When folx come to NYC, I also like to show them the non-tourist community spots off the beaten path.

Música, películas y libros

Currently, I'm into Tegan & Sara's latest album and reading Midnight Robber by Nalo Hopkinson. I am also waiting for Fantastic Beasts to come out because I love all things Harry Potter-related.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I survived a life-threatening disease at age 17, and it permanently changed my outlook on life. I have two scars from it and can tell you about them.

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I'm open to anything really.

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

Good food, good company and good conversation. In particular, I can teach you how to cook vegan Burmese and Chinese food while talking about anything you like :) I'm an OK salsa dancer too and would be happy to go out dancing!
