I was born and raised in the greenest city in North America, Vancouver in the beautiful province of British Columbia, Canada. I'm ethnically Chinese, with roots from Guangdong, China, but I have family around the world, from Vietnam, Australia, Germany to the United States and more. I'm passionate about using my voice for a greater good by championing causes that are near and dear to my heart. I'm a huge advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, gender equality and health/well-being, in particular the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

I'm quite exotic with my naturally loosely curled hair, Angelina Jolie lips and dark brows (quite uncommon among Chinese people). I'm an old soul with a kindred spirit and a big heart that cherishes every moment she has on this beautiful planet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been travelling in Asia since December 2017 and the best part of my travels have been meeting locals and other travelers. I'm always moved by everyone's stories from their own travels, life in their own countries and their backgrounds. Let's meet up and continue to share our stories!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm constantly working on this - trust me, the pursuit never ends!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: making your own organic soap, the ambiguities of ethics, corporate social responsibility and guerilla marketing

Learn: just about anything you throw at me (although I would love to learn how to play the guitar)

Share: love for food

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel stories - all the ups, downs and everything in between! I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself to get a laugh out of someone. I'm not ashamed of the mistakes I've made as I'm willing to share my learnings. I'm willing to be vulnerable and have those late night deep conversations about love, life and laughter.
