ABOUT ME

I lived in New York City for 8 years and resigned from my job in September 2015 to take a backpacking trip around the world. I visited 14 countries and 3 continents and took my time trying to immerse myself in the different cultures as much as possible. I returned to the USA in 2017 and relocated to Santa Barbara, California.

Value experiences, skills, and memories above tangible things

Everything in life happens for a reason

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I attended the weekly meetups in NYC, mostly on Thursday night in Greenwich Village or East Village, and enjoy meeting international travelers and hearing their stories.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I tutor math to at risk children in East Harlem and seeing them pass their classes and improve their grades has been truly an amazing thing that I have seen and done.

I also opened a bag of M&M's once and poured them into my hand and got 6 yellow. Do you know what the odds of that are? 1 in 46656!

教，学，和分享

I really enjoy using my GoPro Camera and figuring out new and unique ways to use it. I'm trying to learn about videography and Final Cut Pro for travel and adventure video.
