I'm a half-Taiwanese, Christian, California-born middle child. I really like food, adventure, and variety, but I think life is basically about relationships. I'm a competitive runner with two history degrees. I'm easygoing and generally prefer warm weather to cold weather. I don't buy a lot of things. I'd like to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's so much more personal and less corporate than staying in a hotel or even a hostel. I think half the experience of traveling to most places is getting to know the people. Also, I think our culture has become so commercialized and computerized that it can be easy to lose personal interaction in so many areas, so I like things that try to bring it back a little bit. Also I just like to meet people and think it's interesting to see how and where they live.
