About Me

In no particular order, I'm a bibliophile, feminist, amateur actor/director/playwright, occasional UC Berkeley student, Taiwanese/Chinese/Asian American, restaurant host and sister. Ultimately, I'm working on being a writer.

Interests: Comedy Modernism Hiking Georgio de Chirico Joss Whedon Neil Gaiman Shakespeare

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe the purpose of traveling is to see how other people live, and there's no better way to do that than staying in someone's home instead of a hotel or hostel. Meeting new people in unexpected places has always inspired my writing. Currently, I'm planning a month-long trip to Europe where I will be staying with friends in London, Verona and Paris, but I'd like to explore other countries as well.
