Hey there! I'm Tina, a 36 year old Asian American from California, USA. I'm interested in history, current events, dance and music. I'm new to this site and am excited to spend time with people from the countries I'll be visiting. I've traveled to over 30 countries and found my favorite thing is to hear peoples' stories and get an insider's scoop on their homeland.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While I've traveled much, I actually only heard about couch-surfing from travelers recently when I expressed my desire to spend more time with locals, and getting to understand things from their perspective and hear their stories. The cross-cultural exchange is what I enjoy most. I also find homes to be a great place to relax, especially over meals.
