About Me

I am an undergraduate student studying Philosophy, Politics, and Economics at Oxford. I am originally from California and grew up in the Bay Area, mostly in Palo Alto. I love travel (especially immersive experiences) and learning languages: I speak English and Mandarin Chinese but have also learned Spanish, French, and Wolof. (So if you are looking to practice a language or multiple languages, talk to me!!) I also love to have discussions about a wide range of topics, including tech, religion, politics, and philosophy. I am a major foodie and love trying new cuisines and restaurants as well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and chatting with people from different parts of the world and to build authentic connections! I am currently looking for a place to stay in London from the 22nd-27th March.

If you are coming to visit Oxford, I am happy to show you around - I know it can be hard to see the colleges and nice tourist attractions without a student ID card! I also tend to go to a lot of events and gatherings, so I am happy to invite you to any university/society events that you would like to go to - there is always something happening in Oxford!
