I have lived in Seattle, WA my entire life and graduated from the University of Washington last year. I have been traveling a lot since I got my degree, and have been temporary living in Manila, Philippines for the past 3 months. I'm currently in Shanghai, China.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for someone who my friend and I can stay with in Beijing, China! Sometime between September 14th-16th.

I also hope to learn more about the Couchsurfing community, and use it for my future travels.

Interests

• traveling
• hiking

Music, Movies, and Books

I mostly listen to American Hip Hop/R&B/Neo-Soul, but wants to explore more of these genres in other countries (i.e. Philippines or European Hip Hop). I also like finding new or upcoming artists, dis, or beat producers on Soundcloud.

The two movies I could watch (and have watched) over and over again are: The Notebook and The Parent Trap. But I enjoy independent films and attend film festivals (I've been to Seattle Asian American Film Festival, Eiga Sai Japanese Film Festival, and International Silent Film Festival in Manila)

I currently have 5 books that I have started but have yet to finish:
The Introduction to Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Han
The Genius of the Poor: A Journey with Gawad Kalinga by Thomas Graham
The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank (The Definitive Edition)
Siddhartha by Herman Hesse
Fresh Off the Boat by Eddie Huang
