Hello hellloOooOoo there!
I am a fellow human being called Tiff.
I'm half Korean and half Mexican,
born and raised in Southern California.

I'm a singer, a writer, a dancer, a lover, an explorer, a traveler.

Currently on the part of my journey of learning to fall in love with the human experience by embracing all of the beauty and chaos, the ups and the downs, the pretty and the ugly, by building the habit of mindfully shifting my perspective to fully accepting myself and others just they way I am/they are.

I've spent the majority of my 20's fighting my demons, finding my myself and my voice in this noisy world, and cultivating my message to share with others. As I now approach my 30's, I'm making the transition in putting into action what I've found. I've been a sleeping activist, speaking out here and there against inequality and racism, and a closeted artist, using art as therapy and not sharing it with the world. I am combining the two by using my art to spread love, peace, and unity.

So, here's to living,
to connecting,
to exploring,
to experiencing,
to healing,
to growing,
to sharing,
to building,
and living our truth.

***HOSTS, PLEASE READ***
I hope my not having any references yet discredits me. I had the opportunity to couchsurf once with a friend back in 2015 and have not embarked on my own solo trip until now, which I am hoping to start building up my reference list.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet some of the most interesting, open-minded, and wisest people this world has to offer. Aaaand to save money, of course ^_^v

"What we fear of doing most is usually what we most need to do."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The white rabbit has led me to this very moment. The events in my life have led me to starting 2020 off with a backpacking adventure I've dreamt of taking for years.

I want to see, hear, taste, smell, touch, and learn new things from my hosts and from my experiences in their cities; things I've never even thought existed in my reality. I want a challenge; I want to grow, evolve, and transform.

Seeking life-long friendships built on openness, trust, and respect where we can inspire one another to use our power to make the world a better place.
