About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Traveling to gain new experiences, learn about other cultures, and connect with people.

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am a nice and friendly person with a positive attitude. I have had many challenges in life, but I continue with optimism and see them as opportunities for growth and self improvement. My friends describe me as fun, patient, compassionate, and charming. I love to learn and have authentic connections with people, especially over deep conversations. I am open to trying new foods and activities.

I am Chinese American and grew up speaking Cantonese and English. I learned Mandarin in college and studied abroad at Sichuan University. In high school I also learned some Spanish and Japanese. I enjoy learning new languages and my goal is to learn some of the language of each place I travel to.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep an open mind and an open heart. We can all learn from each other if we listen. Pursue your dreams and have the courage to go against the current.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to be immersed in local life when I travel, so I can see and experience the culture in an authentic way. And I really enjoy meeting new people and making new friends!

Music, Movies, and Books

When it comes to music, I like pop, new age and bhajans.

For movies I like comedy, romance, action, drama and documentaries. A few of my favorites are 36th Chamber of Shaolin, Edward Scissorhands, and Aladdin.

I mostly read non-fiction. Currently, I am reading Old Path White Clouds: Following in the Steps of Buddha.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went skydiving for my 30th birthday!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, Chinese language, meditation, how to bake pies, and basic nutrition on how to lose weight.

I would like to learn about different cultures and how to make a few dishes.

I can share about my life experiences, cultural identity as an Asian American, and my stories and photos from traveling.
