About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make my friends and family back home jealous of my adventures, but not to brag about it. But because I want people to get out of their nutshells by realizing that they can't live life if they keep fearing to try new (and potentially scary) things.

ABOUT ME

Check out my instagram for my adventures! www.instagram.com/asiantinman
Facebook: www.facebook.com/tinytheyfon8

I love to travel and just be outside and enjoy the world. I am an adrenaline junkie and love to live life on the edge. I'm always smiling and am a very positive person. It's not easy for me to get down so I tend to tell myself I am strong mentally. I am a vegetarian and have been one for 19 years. I love animals; I have four pet rats, my beautiful husky Mya, and also another dog I'm fostering for a shelter until he gets adopted. I've never done drugs in my life, and only drink occasionally as a social drinker. I don't cave to peer pressure easily. I am a very environmental person, but not super hippy style. I was a bio major but just recently changed my major to computer science. So I can travel and work.

I wouldn't give my motorcycle up ever(or maybe when I have kids because I NEED to be ALIVE). I snowboard, skydive, scuba dive, bungee jump all those crazy, wild things.

I just had a month long trip this past summer(2015) in Thailand and Vietnam. The experience was amazing and I absolutely adore elephants now.

PHILOSOPHY

Dying scares me, but not living scares me even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had two experiences so far. My first experience was amazing! I got to sleep on a sailboat for a whole week in Miami. The second experience is not longer listed as reviewed. So I'm assuming they no longer have an account.

Unfortunately, noone will ever want to travel to Fort Wayne, IN so while I'm still available to host, I'm more here for the guest experience.

Interests

Motorcycles. I have a 2008 Honda CBR1000RR. Maybe, just maybe I've gone 184 mph on it before. Things to get the blood pumping. Jumping out of planes. Bungee jumping. Scuba diving. Sea turtles. I've been up close with many turtles and they my favorite animals now. I also enjoy elephants due to my previous trip to Thailand and realizing their intelligence and sensitivity.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

What do you mean one?! That's not even possible! Coca Cola posted one of my underwater unique ShareACoke pics on their social media and we got 65,000 likes(see in pictures). Bathing with elephants in the Thailand rivers and feeding them watermelons. Swam with a pod wild dolphins on the way back in from a dive in Bonaire. Uhm, diving with sea turtles(my spirit animal) duh. Snorkeled with 10 whale sharks in Caribbean. I have skydived out of an airplane 13,000 ft, and bungee jumped off a bridge after a three hour hike in California. Hiked Mt. Vesuvius and visited Pompeii. I race motorcycles at over 150 mph. I'm never afraid to try something new.
