I grew up in China and moved to California to pursue film. I want to be a Production Designer because I love using my imagination, and I really enjoy working with wood. Travelling has always been a passion of mine, I look forward to meeting unique people, with their own experiences to share! I hope to accept guests in the future when I get my own apartment.

New Bio: I have been in South Carolina for about a year now, I am working as a technical editor and as support staff for a homeless shelter. I am making plans to move to Italy, or at least visit, in the fall. I am huge a comic book fan and love nothing more than watching a movie with friends. I like beer, art, language and culture.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking for a chance to explore new places; I hope to meet local people and learn from them.
