FAVORITE QUOTES
"Life is a constant flow of questions - meaning is always in the making and it is constantly being created as we speak. The ultimate meaning of life then is the One that creates meaning: The traveler (not the journey), the subject (not its objects, ideas, circumstances, possessions), the lover (not the love), the way-seer (not the way), the warrior (not the battle)...you! "
"Climb the mountain so you can see the world, not so the world can see you. "
"Happiness never diminishes by being shared."
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars."
I'm a native San Franciscan who enjoys traveling and adventures! I love getting to know new people and sharing experiences with and learning from one another. Just graduated with my masters this June and am staying in Boston for my new job. Enthusiastic to share what this wonderful city has to offer! :D
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To share and learn from one another!
I really prefer hosting on the Friday nights/weekends due to my work schedule. That way, I have time to spend time with you and to explore Boston/Cambridge together. If you are requesting to stay with me for any weekday, please be aware that I am usually busy with work, and won't be able to spend the day with you, sorry! Just want to be transparent and not to let anyone down with the CS experience you are signing up for! :)
Interests
Music - Nothing beats listening to a good jam and lyrics while just relaxing or dancing! :)
Photography/Art/Design - I enjoy different types of artistic endeavors because it's a form of creative expression. I take a lot of photos because I always find photos as a medium to be able to tell a story about a place, a person, or a community. I love to also paint and create/tinker with gadgets and technology as well!
Learning New Things - I really like to see what's out there in the world and see what I can learn from others especially since the world is my oyster and I seek to discover new things that I am passionate about.
Enjoying Life - Simple things like sitting around and having a drink with good company and talking about anything is what life is all about!
