About Me
"What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?" -Mary Oliver
It is a fortune and blessing to have the mean and a healthy body to travel and explore. While traveling, I can meet new people and get to connect with them, and share ideas and creativity to build community.
Food and cultures describe my personalities. When I am eating good food and trying something new, I am learning much more than just food, also the people and the culture. I believe positive energy is very important in life. Having hope can sustain life. Having hope can help us to move forward. Having hope will get us where we want to go.
"Smiles can change the world around you!"
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I really enjoy the way Couchsurfing allow people to connect through generousity, openness, curiousity, bravery, and many imagination. It is a great community of building relationship and a larger more gental world of adventure. That's why I like CS.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
(1)Went on a trip to Grand Canyon with the program No Barriers. With nine other teens who were half visually impaired and we hiked up the beast after several days of canoeing at the Colorado river. Spent many nights under the star and fogs. Met great people and learned so much about reaching beyond your ability.
(2) Spent a night out on the Caribbean beach doing turtle watch. One of the incredible things that I have done is to see that a giant turtle emerged from the ocean and dug a hole and laid her eggs. Wildlife are so impressive. Blessing.
