Overview
About Me
I’m a freelance costume designer & stylist based in Great Los Angeles area.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Back in college, my friend Sofia introduced couch surfing experience with me, soon I started meeting hosts and surfers worldwide!
From local city Long Beach to Arizona, Florida, all the way to South East Asia, Australia, UK...etc. I’ve met those most amazing people from all over the world - truly, I’m grateful.
After my return I shared my stories with my father, he highly encouraged me returning the favour back. Currently me and my roommate Irene(we both work in productions) we have this lovely spot right at the coroner of West Hollywood & Fairfax, would be wonderful to keep this beautiful thing continue......
Interests
Pretty much everything outdoors, being in the woods, cabin, camps are my favorite long weekend plans. I really enjoy some mini road trips around SoCal, desert or by the coast.
Working full time as a stylist, I truly enjoy shopping more so just going to different spots pulling clothes and fun accessories . With this being said - I could possibly be your best local shipping guide if you are into thrift/vintage clothes.
