Hey there! I'm a Californian who enjoys the outdoors, photography, music, gastronomy, and of course traveling. I've backpacked solo a few times and met so many awesome people through CS!

Now that I'm working full time, I don't have the luxury of leaving the country too often, but I'm more than happy to show travelers my favorite spots in the SF bay area!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a traveler - To meet locals, immerse myself in your culture, and see things from a different perspective
As a host - To help you fall in love with my city :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I teach Parkinson's patients to fight the disease with boxing-inspired fitness training.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning languages, although I've only mastered English and Chinese! Am happy to teach ^^
Food is one of my greatest passions and the main reason I travel. I'll try anything (except for hákarl!)
I'm also an encyclopedia of useless information so I'm a great partner for trivia nights ^^

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good conversations, trinkets from home
