I grew up about 35 miles east of San Francisco. I come from a large family of Filipino immigrants that settled in Hawaii after World War 2. My father moved to the mainland at 18 years of age, meeting my mother. She is a third generation German from small-town Nebraska.

My three sisters and I are quite close, as we were all home schooled together. The oldest works for Wells Fargo, the second is pursuing a Phd in clinical psychology, I studied Philosophy and work as a fashion model in San Francisco, and the youngest is studying mathematics.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
