DISCLAIMER: I ONLY HOST FEMALES! SORRY!

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people from all around the world, find new language partners and increase my language skills, especially in French, German and Korean!

ABOUT ME

I am an Asian American in in my 20s. I graduated from UCLA a few years, worked in LA and I am now in between Los Angeles and Washington DC for my masters' degree. My friends would say that I am funny, laid back, interesting and worldly. They would also say that I am very loyal, kind, and have a big heart. I have a knack and talent for languages, I speak English, Mandarin Chinese, Malay, some Korean, French and Mandarin. Many of my friends say that I should become a professor of linguistics someday, or a professional in international relations. I am not sure what I will end up becoming in the future - but I hope the journey will be full of amazing adventures!!

PHILOSOPHY

Learn, live, laugh. Always reach for the stars and do not be afraid to try. I hope that when I get older I can look back at life and say "Hey, I am so glad I did that and had that wonderful experience".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to meet travelers for now. I am especially hoping to meet people from Europe - as I will be traveling there sometime the end of this year!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am quite new to this.

Interests

I like to spend my time reading, exercising(hiking, jogging, swimming), meeting new people. I love loving a full life and I take every moment I can to enjoy learning about the world - whether it is history, culture, science etc. When it comes to traveling, I love to immerse myself in the culture of the region, learn about its cuisine, history and people.

Random epiphanies at various moments, whether I am traveling, at home or in the midst of working on a task.

Teach, Learn, Share

By meeting me, I hoping to share with you all my experiences and knowledge I have garnered throughout my life. I have lived in three different countries - Malaysia(Where I was born), China(where I studied abroad) and the USA(where I currently live). I grew up as teenager in Los Angeles and have since lived here. I am happy to share with you any insights about the American culture, especially here in Los Angeles! I am young, hip, fun and tech driven and extremely knowledgeable about world news, and pop culture.
