CURRENT MISSION

Live, Love, and Learn! Current Mission is to be an outstanding role model by living life to the fullest by sharing my talents with others and myself.

ABOUT ME

Live, Love, and Learn! I am open-minded, easy-going and curious about learning new things in life. I enjoy having a good laugh with good company, especially with people who loves life and make every day count. I enjoy meeting enthusiastic people of all backgrounds and like to share genuine exchange with them. I'm well educated and culturally diverse, having lived in Asia, US, and now Europe. "Jack of all traits, Master of none" describes me well.

Currently taking some time off to "recharge & reorientate". Also researching on relocation. I'm a well-rounded Architect/Urban Designer. I'm a creative professional having created the Grabbit for iPad. (www.ipadgrabbit.com)

Born in Hong Kong, grew up in Hawaii and studied in Chicago, I've now lived in Rotterdam, Holland for the last 15 years practicing architecture and urban design internationally. I've had the fortune of learning and working with many respected names,and I'm now at a cross road where I'm searching for a new direction and I'm considering to teach others what I've learned.

I'm also an amateur musician. I enjoying writing and making music. I sing, play guitar and drums.

I also enjoy sketching, photography and discovering new music.

PHILOSOPHY

"Every minute you are angry, you lose 60 seconds of happiness".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined CS when I traveled throughout S. America in 2011. Since then I continue to meet great people from around the world. I love meeting new friends, and meet locals and understand issues of a place from an insider. It's fair to 'give and take' and share life experiences in the CS community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was recommended to look into CS through friends that are also CS-ers. I've recently met the local Rotterdam Group and had a few beers with great conversations. How come I didn't know about this before?
