Just a sassy citizen of the world with a serious case of wanderlust! I'm half Filipino and Chinese, but I was born and raised in sunny Southern California. I was then educated in Paris and Beirut, studying a mixture of French, Arabic, and marketing. I once worked for the Mickey Mafia and another time I was real life reenacting the Sound of Music in Switzerland.

I have no idea what's next in my plans, but that's quite alright with me as I like having a non-linear life and am always eager for the latest adventure!

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love immersing myself in a new culture by meeting the locals!
