ABOUT ME

I'm currently studying abroad at Bocconi University in Milan, Italy. I go to University of California, Riverside and am a third year student. I was born and raised in Orange County, California (in Anaheim, right by Disneyland!). I am very family-oriented and have many cousins whom I spend a lot of time with and learn a lot from.

I love people and am an ESFJ (Extraverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judgment) personality type. I am very sociable and friendly.

I love traveling. So far, I've mainly traveled throughout the United States, Canada, China, France, Spain and Italy. Since studying abroad in Italy, I've had time to visit Rome, Venice, Torino, Lake Como, Varenna, Florence, Siena, Pisa, and Viareggio.

PHILOSOPHY

Live life without regrets :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mostly listen to mainstream, alternative rock, soft rock, rock, and feel good music. I usually listen to different genres depending on my mood. Studying abroad in Italy, I've had a newfound love for House music as well.
I watch A LOT of movies. I try to catch every highly rated movie that comes out into theaters. Here's some that I really like: 500 days of Summer, Inception, The Proposal, Anchorman, Pirates of the Caribbean, X-Men, She's All That, Robin Hood: Men in Tights, Harry Potter, Finding Nemo. Lately, I've been really into romantic comedies.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was younger, I climbed the Great Wall of China. The steps were extremely uneven and steep, and I made it a game to get to as many watchtowers as possible.

Another amazing feat I've accomplished is hiking 16 miles to Eagle Lake, a lake situated at the top of a mountain at Mineral Kings, Sequoia National park - we started the hike not knowing what we were getting ourselves into. I passed through so many different terrains on the way up, it was incredible- dried rivers, lush forests, barren fields, giant boulders, snow.
