I'm an Asian American chilling in Southeast Asia after my Australian working holiday finished. I've solo traveled for 9 months in Southeast Asia a couple years ago so it's nice to be back!

Every day is an adventure for me! You can find me exploring city streets by bicycle and/or skateboard (+15km/day) going to music concerts, drag shows, indie art and festivals. Always up for noodles, tea and dessert. I also enjoy photographing architecture, drawing street views and going to art gallery receptions. I am (L)GBTQ+ and looking for queer community and friends as well!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanna befriend like-minded adventurous worldy people and hearing about their experiences. Hanging out over meals and drinks. Open go splitting accomadation or joining along a planned itinerary with other travelers. I'm very spontaneous and go with the flow, which has led to really cool travel stories! Always learning tips and tricks of backpacking.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Saw a music show in the basement of the American Football House. Cycled on a freeway with 100+ cyclists during rush hour. Snuck into Pink Dot LGBT protest in Singapore (foreigners not allowed).Late night spelunking Hong Kong island caves with some DJs I met. Went to a Japanese hippy festival in Thailand and a Kpop concert in the Philippines the next day.

Teach, Learn, Share

Traditional Japanese tea ceremony matcha. Sketching from life (urban sketching, portraits). Pretty decent at photography. Sharing my Spotify playlists, I'm a budding DJ! Can teach some skateboarding with my traveling pennyboard. Language exchange (native/fluent English speaker)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Quality time and company. I can't cook well but I like doing the dishes! I love learning about people and I'm a big conversationalist - can chat about anything really.
