ABOUT ME

Born and raised San Franciscan who loves to travel, sing, dance, laugh, tan in the sun, walk my dog, volunteer...

PHILOSOPHY

I laugh each day because, as Charlie Chaplin put it, "a day without laughter is a day wasted."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like acting like a tourist in my own city, so you can imagine how much fun I have when I also act as tour guide. :) I LOVE my city and love sharing it with others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The only type of "couchsurfing" experience I've had is meeting friends through friends in foreign countries and staying at their homes. Bouncing from home to home is tons of fun and provides a wonderful way to view another culture.

Interests

Traveling, singing, dancing, activism, playing with animals, going to the beach, shopping... :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to my mother's homeland (Cambodia) recently and learned so much about the genocide she suffered through from beginning to end. It is amazing to me how she survived and made so much of her life when everything was taken from her. To start scratch in a new country after years of trauma is baffling to me. She is the most amazing thing I've ever seen.

Austria, Cambodia, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Dominican Republic, France, Hungary, Italy, Mexico, Spain, United Kingdom, Viet Nam
