About Me

CURRENT MISSION

adventure

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going and friendly architecture/theater student--always with a positive outlook. Total California girl, with the accent and everything...Expect me saying "like" and "totally." I love to try new things, eat new food, and getting to know people. Absolutely love shopping and all the girly stereotypes, but also fishing, atving, hiking, camping, and spelunking. I might be shy at first, but I open up eventually as you may find out if we go bar or club hopping. Watch out for my dance moves...the sprinkler and the Charleston. ;P

I've never couch surfed before, but I've met so many amazing people through CS events, and I'm open to new, adventurous experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Peter Eisenman. Zaha Hadid. The Doctor.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to count in Tagalog.

I am extremely knowledgable about UC Berkeley, so I'd be happy to give you a tour.

I love to bake and cook, and I definitely make enough baked goods for everyone!

I am currently trying to get in touch with my culture--that means cooking Pilipino food, acting in a cultural show, and so forth.
