Hi, I just graduated from University of Hawaii, Manoa and have my MS in marine biology! I grew up in California and attended UC Berkeley for college so I visit the Bay Area often. I love to do a lot of things, but mostly can be summed up with skating, fishing, diving, ping pong, and cooking.

I can speak Chinese if that's convenient for you. I love the ocean, and scuba diving and freediving, but I also like fishing and catching crabs. I know it's strange- but crabs are my favorite animal! If you're looking for someone kind and interesting, then please let me stay over! I'm very respectful toward other people's belongings so I will always try to leave little trace that I was there (except for positive memories).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm looking for a place to sleep the nights while I visit San Francisco Dec 2015 and Jan 2016 for a few days at a time.

I would like any place to sleep on, a place to shower, and a place to cook. I'm not asking to use your stove or anything, but I will be bringing a very small hotplate so I hope you don't mind me cooking a bit!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I graduated from UC Berkeley, I "walked" across the stage by doing a series of kung fu moves!

And then for the Blue & Gold Yearbook for UC Berkeley, I snuck a pokeball into my picture and it's actually in the yearbook to stay!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to teach! I actually am a very experienced teacher and I love telling stories. I usually do much of the talking, but it definitely feels good to be on the listening side at time.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Money? Let me know if you want me to pay you.
Tutoring- I can teach some skills, and I'm very good at math and science at almost all levels.
Cooking- maybe I can try cooking for you!
Cleaning- if there is something you want me to help out, I'm willing within reason.
