About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see where life takes me

ABOUT ME

I love to meet new people and enjoy traveling all around the world. After college, I lived in Malaysia for two months then came back to Northern California to live. I've road tripped across the USA from California to Illinois, and have been to most of the States. Last August, I took a solo backpacking journey throughout Europe to meet up with some friends that I had met in the States and had such an amazing time! I enjoy hanging out with cool chill people and trying new sports/activities.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life's many adventures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and meeting up with people all over. I throw and attend CS events every now and then.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've Couchsurfed a couple of times in LA and San Diego. It was a blast making new friends and checking out the sites that I've never heard of. I also meet up with friends in Europe to show me the local seen for the first time! I will never forget it.

Interests

I like to travel, learning different cultures and food. I am into camping, surfing, snowboarding, biking, and most outdoor activities. I am interested in all types of music. I was recently at Burning Man, Coachella Music Festival, Electronic Daisy Carnival, Outside Lands,Identity, Lightning in a Bottle, Snowglobe... (the list goes on) and am now hooked by the experience and the genuineness of people as well as the amazing music!
