ABOUT ME

I am a first generation made in taiwan chinese american. I grew up in a teeny village about 2 hours south of Taipei by moped. My favorite childhood pasttime was playing in the rice patty fields that hugged the streets around town. My parents were highschool teachers in a neighboring town that was every bit more cosmopolitan than ours. We lived in a cozy 2 story house and sometimes left our doors unlocked. Life was simple back then and I was content pulling frogs from the rice paddy ponds in the springtime and blowing them up with fire crackers. Then in the summer of 1982 life as I knew it changed forever. My family and I packed our humble belongings and headed for the land of the free, home of the brave. We settled into our new home in the New York area and I haven`t left since.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is journey - live it up!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I can't say I have couch surfed with a complete stranger before. But i once took in a stranded traveler who arrived in NY too early and the friend she was supposed to stay with could not be found. We shared a great conversation before her jetlag set in.

Interests

I love to travel and meet locals from other parts of the world. Life is interesting. People are interesting.
