Recent college graduate, engineer, and musician. I love playing music, going to live shows, into the DIY / maker movement, trying new foods, going to art, design, and history museums, and of course, meeting people!

* Sorry, I can't host people until I move to NYC in September :- (

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people! I'm very outgoing and extroverted and love to explore new places with local people. Love going out for craft beer and cocktails, live jazz and soul music and techno clubs, but also love board games and trivia. Down for any amount of interaction with my hosts!

I just came back home from a solo trip to Asia and wished I had been able to meet more local people, hence why I'm here now!

Teach, Learn, Share

- I have a lot to share about physics, music, food, cooking, baking, + a lot of misc. knowledge
- I'm also a licensed EMT (Emergency Medical Technician) so I could teach you something about emergency medical response and care.
- I love DIY / making / building things and could potentially teach you or point you in the direction of how to build a lot of random things (have built my own furniture, an analog synthesizer, tried to build a 3D printer)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can speak English + Chinese, am a HUGE food and music lover (neosoul, r+b, techno, house, indie) and can give you all the recommendations you want on both. Would love to swap life and travel experiences.
