About Me

Hey CS fam! If you ask me where I'm from, I'm bound to give you a long winded answer - but in short, I was born in China, grew up in Canada, currently reside in the states and have also lived in Hong Kong and Czech Republic.

I'm a UX/Web Designer at a Bank and a mad fanatic of traveling and experiencing the world. There's nothing like truly getting to know a place by connecting with locals and others to savor the experience. I'm mega extraverted and will talk your ear off if you're not careful.

I'm currently on a nomadic journey in my mid twenties, trying to savor and experience life before I find my new home!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the community, everyone you meet comes around and helps you out. You never forget the people you met on the trips!

Interests

My focus on traveling usually is cultural experiences, backpacking (wilderness), diving, surfing, hiking/trekking and all things outside.

Things I've recently done:
- Hiked Kilimanjaro
- Began Kite Surfing
- Experienced Safari game drives in Africa
- Learned Snowboarding
