About Me

I'm a traveler and always try to get to more places. I was in an organization called AIESEC when I was in college (actually also one-year full time after my graduation). 5+ years of AIESEC experience brought me to 5 different countries (Germany, Korea, Kenya, Ghana, Russia), where I've traveled, volunteered, participated conferences.

Art (especially dancing, music, and modern/impressionist painting) is a very important element in my life. I appreciate art in different forms and genres, but I am especially interested in modern and contemporary art.

Another interesting thing about me is that I'm a yoga teacher. I'm pursuing a personal practice of Ashtanga yoga and Vinyasa flow yoga (Also do quite a bit Yin and Iyengar), and just got certified as RYT-200 hours yoga teaching from Yoga Alliance in May 2016. Though teaching yoga is a small part-time job and hobby for me, I've been doing it for almost 3 years and I really like it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm very new to Couchsurfing and still exploring the community. Due to my Los Angeles trip, I decide to try this out. I usually use Airbnb/Hostel, and I love the concept of getting people at home, make them comfortable and really share my experience and passion about the place I live in.

I'm excited to explore more here and make lots of friends!
