About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Trying to graduate, while secretly still having fun without the adviser noticing!

ABOUT ME

I'm an introvert but I open up pretty easily. I'm up for trying anything at least once. I'm a bit of a night owl. I love traveling and learning new things. I'm not the best dancer but I have a lot of fun learning all kinds of dance styles.

I travel so that I can eat new foods and I hike when I travel so that I can eat more food :D

I like living a simple life and try my best to enjoy every moment of it.

PHILOSOPHY

Live without regrets. Laugh loudly and often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couch surf and I recommend people to try it at least once, especially if they're traveling alone in a new country.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed unofficially with friends in Korea, Singapore, throughout the United States, etc. I had a great time couchsurfing in Greece, where I stayed with Panos in Athens (best host ever!).

I love couchsurfing, it's honestly the best way to get a good feel for the city, even if you'll only be there for a few days.

Interests

I love beaches of all kinds, exploring big cities, cooking for friends, anything artsy (dance, music, art, fashion, etc), picking up accents, good (and/or spicy) food, developing an adventures spirit, hiking, meeting new people and laughing really loudly.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like songs that reminds me of something or someone, old school music, music that makes me laugh or cry or both, music to relax to, and music that makes me get up and dance. Music keeps me going.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming in Hawaii with sea turtles and surfing in Bali.

Teach, Learn, Share

When I travel, I try to keep three things in mind: Be flexible, bring a sense of adventure, and get enough sleep.

Oh, and bring more than one credit card.
