Hi!
I'm someone that has fallen in love with solo traveling.
I love exploring new places and getting to know new people. I have a positive outlook on life and try to bring that outlook wherever I go. Although I identify with being 'American' my mother immigrated from South Korea. My father whom my mother met in USA was half Chinese, half Vietnamese. I would say I have a bit of a unique perspective of a 1st generation Asian American growing up and living in the United States.
I love to day dream and have a bit of escapism tendencies therefore love things like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and Game of Thrones. With that I also like a bit of gaming as well! I love music and my taste in it is a bit all over the place depending on mood ranging from classical, metal, EDM, rock, hip-hop and alternative.
I would say I am a well mannered person respectful of people's space. Hoping to connect and meet some like minded people! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As many of you know traveling can get pretty expensive paying for just accommodations and typically I travel within hostels when I can. This blends both by being able to meet and connect with new people abroad and saving a bit of money. This also gives me opportunity to see a glimpse into the lives of people that open their homes to me. :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Currently, I am a bit on a EDM kick but love early 90s hip-hop.

My favorite movies growing up are the original Star Wars movies although I appreciate both the prequel and sequel trilogies. I've seen all the extra shows that have been released over the years as well!

I love philosophical books and self help books but every once in while ill get lost in the world of some fictional world. Like Lord of the Rings. Most recently I just finished the first book of the Wheel of Time series!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've worked on a fishing boat in Alaska for one season. I fished out of the same port as the show 'deadliest catch'.
Working on the boat I learned the value of hard work, working 16 hour days 7 days-a-week. Ask me about it! I'd love to share!

Teach, Learn, Share

I know a bit about cryptocurrency. Me and a couple friends a number of years ago taught ourselves how to mine Ethereum and make the rigs from scratch. I also got a bit into trading as well and would love to share what I've learned!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a pretty optimistic view on life and people tell me that I always look happy and bring a certain warmth to a room. I hope I can share this 'light' with the people I meet :)
