ABOUT ME

Hi couch surfers - I'm from Toronto but I grew up in Vancouver and am of Taiwanese descent. I'm a rustic traveler and I've been to a lot of places via couch surfing and/or hostels...I believe it's the right way to see the world.

I'm friendly, outgoing, and fun (I hope) to be around. I love sports, art, and have a keen interest in learning different languages. I'm fluent in English and Mandarin, and have basic knowledge in Spanish, Japanese, Cantonese, and French. I also know how to swear in 20+ languages ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm a new CSer and just love the idea! I'll be more than happy to meet up with anybody to show them a good time in Toronto.

Interests

I love meeting new friends, traveling, summer, sports, dogs, and culture diversity. I am an avid basketball player/fan and can talk about it over beer for days without rest. I love pop culture, can conduct an entire conversation in movie quotes, and would be willing to go out of my way for a good meal. I also try keep up with creative advertising, design, and tech trends around the world.

I am also a big sneaker head - I own over 100+ pairs of shoes, mostly Jordan's and Nike's.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- My first time watching a live Toronto Raptors game at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto
- Scuba diving in Punta Cana for the first time
- Ran into a sea turtle while snorkeling off the shore of Hawaii (sea turtles rarely come that close to the shore)
- Visiting the Colosseum, St.Marco Square, St. Peter's Square in the Vatican, Ponte Vecchio in Florence, the Barceloneta...all breath taking in their own rights.

Teach, Learn, Share

- Awesome stories
- Beer
- I may be able to teach some basic Mandarin, but it's already hard enough for me
