I'm a student at Caltech, studying mathematics. I am really bad at writing about myself, but really good at making people laugh (intentionally or unintentionally).
My parents immigrated here from China, and never let me forget that they made it here on their own, gosh darn it, so I like to earn my keep.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really excited to meet new people in new places.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Some friends and I went to Texas for a hackathon with thousands of people. We made an VR video game (with dinosaurs), and unexpectedly came out in first place. We won a trip to South Korea (which was cancelled because of MERS, but still).

Teach, Learn, Share

Ever wanted to know how to solve a Rubic's Cube or how many Platonic Solids there are? Well I can tell you!
Also, I know how to do POI and how to crochet, all fun things!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a lot of strange knowledge that you might not find with many other people.

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, England, France, Japan, Mexico
