About Me

Currently a 2L at Michigan Law School, after working for two years in Manila, Philippines and spending my undergraduate years in Charlottesville, Virginia! I grew up in Manila and have traveled extensively around Southeast Asia -- most recently this past summer when I worked in Cambodia.

I will be spending the next few months in Geneva, and I am very excited to travel around Europe for the first time!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have met some CouchSurfers in the Manila area, but have yet to try CouchSurfing myself. I am eager to do it soon!

Interests

Good books, good music, good company.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can listen to anything, but these days I mostly enjoy folk and PBR&B. My all-time favorite movie and guilty pleasure is Mean Girls.

I read a lot and enjoy a wide variety of literature, especially now that I can read for pleasure again! My favorites from the past year include "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand, "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and "One Hundred Years of Solitude," by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drove an ATV through the Siem Reap countryside in the pouring rain.
