Call me Tony!

I'm ethnically Chinese, but consider myself 100% American as I've grown up in California my entire life. Currently testing the waters of life and finding my place in the world. I don't know much, but I'm yearning to learn.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about the places I will be visiting with the help of those who are local. It would be awesome to have a guide and friend in an unknown place and this is one way to do it!

Interests

I love to hike the beautiful forests and mountains of Northern California to rejuvenate my appreciation of what nature has to offer. Aside from hiking, rock climbing has become an integral part of who I am and has provided me a great combination of fitness and entertainment. I also love taking my skateboard out to cruise the streets of San Francisco. When time and weather permits, I always leap at any opportunity to go snowboarding up at Lake Tahoe!

When I'm not outdoors, I love to cook and watch basketball, with a nice cold beer in hand. Music is also a passion, as I've been playing piano for 13 years.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love any kind of music. From crazy electronic music that makes you want to jump all over the place, to relaxing reggae music that is just all-around feel good type of music. My current music interest is in "feel good happy electronic vibes" (my own term for it) check out an artist called 'Point Point' or 'Louis the Child'.

My favorite movies of all time are:
Star Wars
The Breakfast Club
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Freedom Writers

My favorite books:
East of Eden by John Steinbeck
The Stand by Stephen King
