Hey everyone! My name is Tiffany. If I could describe myself shortly, I would say "musician, music lover, photographer, polyglot, and traveler." I am an Asian-American student living in the Silicon Valley of California (basically San Francisco and its suburbs) working towards a degree in Speech-Language Pathology. For work, I currently am a part-time book clerk at an intellectual patent law firm and occasionally do professional wedding and portrait photography on the side. I am also active in the church where I look after children in a nursery and help run a creative ministry. This creative ministry is an Open Mic and Open Canvas Night in the area one Wednesday a month that opens its doors to many talented artists of music, poetry, spoken word, and art - one that I participate in as well (:

I grew up speaking English and Mandarin. I have been learning French on my own and in school for a little over four years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Get to meet people from all over this lovely planet when I'm not travelling and to meet new people to hang out with while travelling.
