Hi everyone. I've recently moved out too NYC for grad school and now I'm exploring the east coast!

Before then I worked in China/Hong Kong/ Myanmar training staff and teachers at orphanages and schools for two years. A little background information on me first, I was born in Hong Kong, raised in California, and now...home is where I can unpack my suitcase and switch out my winter clothes to summer clothes. I live and love every day of my life and what I've come to realize is that when you start doing good and spreading happiness, it attracts wonderful people with the same vibes and mindset.

I enjoy meaningful conversations, ones that make you reflect and think about yourself and others. My favorite questions to ask are: "What's your favorite word?", "tell me your story", and "what's a life lesson you've learned?"

Philosophy:
Do things that you'll be proud of. Be a positive influence on others, spread love, happiness and do good.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm excited about life, crave new experiences, and am always down to make new friends. I think CouchSurfing is a great tool for that. All friends start out as strangers right?

Shoot me a message so we can meet up and get to know each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was doing drug prevention week at schools in Myanmar, a grandma approached me and told me her story on how her daughter died last year to a drug overdose and her children's father is a heroin addict who abuses them. She took these children into their own care but can't raise them well anymore and ask for my help. The next day after visiting the family, I brought them all to our Family Village in Myanmar and now the children get to go to school, get to learn Chinese and Burmese, play with all the other children and have access to much better opportunities in life.

Ask me about it when we meet.
