I am a 4th-generation Asian-American from Southern California and I love to meet new people and learn new things. I am a huge foodie and I love to find new recipes and try them out. I enjoy being outdoors and exploring. I try to be considerate of others and find myself always wanting to share my food and possessions when I can. I am 5ft tall and 100lbs so I don't take up too much room. I look forward to many couchsurfing adventures! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went skydiving near Santa Barbara, California for my 21st birthday! As Will Smith once said when recalling his own skydiving experience, "The best things in life are on the other side of terror. On the other side of your maximum fear are all of the best things in life."

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you the following: culture of Southern California, experience of Au-Pairing in Germany, topics of physics and psychology, how to draw in anime-style, how to play lacrosse, how to cook my favorite dishes, and how to swing dance (westcoast, eastcoast, and a little Lindy-Hop) and country line dance (San Luis Obispo style).

I would like to learn about the following: your culture, your favorite foods, your favorite places to go, your experiences in life so far.

I would like to share the following: life stories, food, and new experiences.
