I'm passionate about international affairs so I work in that field and love meeting people. Traveling is so much more fun and rewarding when there's great people to connect with, so I am always looking for opportunities.

From the San Francisco Bay Area and constantly seeking to expand my worldview.

My home isn’t available for surfing at the moment, but always happy to meet up with people in San Francisco or somewhere else in the Bay when I’m home!

Very new to Couchsurfing, so ask me anything you don’t see in my profile.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing gives the personal connection that traveling otherwise might lack and I would love to meet with people while I'm traveling or when someone comes through the Bay Area and needs a friend. Can't wait to meet you!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: all-time favorite song is Atlas Hands by Benjamin Francis Leftwich - ask me why! :)
Otherwise I listen to almost everything, with no particular focus on a genre or artist (except Beyonce. I love her for reasons including and beyond her music). I have one giant playlist on Spotify that has everything from rap and hip hop, movie soundtrack/orchestral music, and country to RnB and acoustic and folk. I love discovering a song by just hearing it somewhere.

Movies, Books, TV: love love love stories of all kinds. Right now I’m obsessed with Call Me By Your Name and Westworld.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve been in the presence of Beyonce and Michelle Obama.

Just kidding. Kind of ;)

Teach, Learn, Share

If I could have dinner with any three people, it would currently be Conan O’Brien and Michelle Obama....third person to be determined :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversation influenced by my Asian-American, Bay Area/California, world travel perspectives. I would love to meet you and have a drink or a meal together if you have time for it and learn from you!
