About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Explore the world!

ABOUT ME

I'm on my second epic Asia trip right now!

First thing to know about me: I love to cook and enjoy good food. I appreciate cultural diversity and very excited to learn about it through my travel experiences and through stories of others. I am outgoing, adventurous, friendly and energetic. I don't smoke and only drink occasionally. Dont worry I will make a mess because I am very organized and I like to keep things
neat and tidy. One last thing, I like to meet new people!

PHILOSOPHY

Life is too short to eat shit!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been to the SC festival in New York and met some awesome Couch Surfers. I host and meet up with a few people while I am n New York. I have so many great cs experiences and I wouldn't change them for the world!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is so awesome! With CS, I get to meet people and have a chance to live like the locals; otherwise I would miss out all the amazing experiences!

I visited a host in Toronto. It is my first time staying over at a stranger's place, and I had a lot of fun! Eve was the name of the host, and her warm welcome and hospitality really touched me. I hosted a couch surfer at my dorm while I was in school, it was very fun.

I am very thankful that I have many great experiences with my hosts in Canada, Europe and Asia.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

20 days of semi-ghetto trekking trip to Everest Base Camp (5400m above sea level) in Nepal without any porter/guide, and I was in my pink flipflops half of the time! Def an amazing experience, I even dreamt about Everest weeks after the trekking. I wanna go back someday!

I rode my folding bike and finished one 15 mile tour in Queens and then a 40 mile tour in the Bronx and in Brooklyn in 2013. It seems impossible in the eyes of those road bike riders but I did it and am very proud of myself!

Hosted the first international pillow fight event in Taipei, Taiwan in 2010. Even though the crowd was only about 200 people, it was such an amazing experience showing people to have fun with strangers at no cost.

Teach, Learn, Share

The world is full of amazing people with amazing things to learn, I am humble to learn anything that you are willing to teach me!
