About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Create amusing adventures and refine my wordplay abilities in my quest to become a remarkable designer and marketer in the tech space.

ABOUT ME

Relaxed personality and easily amused. Love public transportation in the form of trains, admiring beautiful places, and meeting ambitious and interesting people.

People say I have a dry sense of humor. It must be because I have an insatiable thirst for adventure that cannot be quenched. Forever thirsty, I suffer.

PHILOSOPHY

Always keep learning and be your best self.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I just joined, so I'm still learning. Can't host at the moment, but would like to in the future.

Would love to meet like-minded locals and international travelers.

Interests

Anything that appeals to my right brain sensibilities: museums, the beauty of nature, live shows, music, photography, creating cool things.

Currently on a fitness binge, and have taken Pilates and Barre classes.

Exploring life is one of my big, never-ending missions.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Christopher Nolan, Coen Brothers. Suspense / Thrillers, Anime, Foreign.

Music: Very eclectic - some Asian music and random new agey Pandora stations.

Books: 4 Hour Work Week. Reading up on startups and tech via blogs. Enjoy dystopian and time travel themes.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I co-founded a mobile tech startup and hustled on that for over two years. Now, I work for a tech company in LA as a designer.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that Aladdin was Chinese, except in the Disney film?

I dabble in a lot of different things: photography, video creation, marketing, design, music, budget traveling. Would love to share my learnings with you, fellow traveler.
