About Me

Couchsurfing is a community I so loved but it's no longer the same. If you believe I should host you, please send me a request anyway. I live in San Mateo (25 min drive/30 by public transit to downtown SF).

------//////////------
I'm the happiest when my legs are pounding the road and when I have warm chocolate chip cookies in my hand.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've surfed in many places including California(SF and SD!), Chicago, Florida(Cocoa, Miami and Melbourne), NYC, HK, Shenzhen etc... so I don't feel like I've "been" to a place if i didn't couchsurf there.

I've hosted in NYC & Atlanta. Seeing the world at my doorsteps is a pleasure, and my doors are always open to surfers wherever I am.
