About Me

I’m a junior at the University of Chicago looking to get out there! My family’s from Hong Kong but I’ve been living outside of New Haven for the last couple years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am looking to take an Amtrak trip around the US in a month, stopping in Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, New Orleans, DC, Boston and New York. Would love to meet people in these cities or even someone who wants to come along for the trip!

Interests

I write for the arts section of my school newspaper—which basically means I go to concerts for free and interview fans. Always looking to be introduced to new music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am a big fan of Vonnegut. My first book from him was Hocus Pocus. My favorite movie is About Time. Big fan of Domhnall Gleeson in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked last summer for a nonprofit in HK where I moved a lot of food around and made visits to kindergartens and senior living centers. It was a really cool experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I speak Mandarin and Cantonese if anyone wants a language buddy. Also down to help out with English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Looking to help out however I can. Have a camera with me so I’d be down to help people take headshots!
