Hi! I'm a student from California and I'm currently studying abroad Singapore (NUS)! Really excited to be traveling across Southeast Asia and experiencing new cultures, making friends, and trying out tons of yummy local food. I'm proudly Taiwanese-American and the owner of a soft-coated wheaten terrier named Murphy. :) Passionate about mental wellness. My life mantra: It's ok to not be ok.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've couchsurfed and hosted with my family throughout my childhood and have lots of great memories! Here to make new friends and live and learn.

Teach, Learn, Share

I AM A FOODIE!! I am a milk tea enthusiast and can teach you how to make boba (I've worked as a boba barista in the past). I also really enjoy cooking/baking and can share how to make some simple Taiwanese dishes.

I can also teach you how to speak English or Mandarin. Excited to learn new languages myself.
