I love meeting new people and sharing different perspectives. I enjoy a healthy active lifestyle, including traveling, hiking, and snowboarding. I also enjoy partying responsibly. I own my own business. I do a lot of public speaking and I help people become more effective with their own stage presentations. It's gratifying to help people become more confident and influential.

I value creativity and love seeing concerts, plays, and being around artistic people. I personally express my creativity through writing comedy short stories and playing music. Though I'm always open to try something new.

I value self-improvement, and I have a deep respect for all cultures. I consider myself spiritual, and having a mixed racial background (Chinese and Caucasian) probably helps me embrace diversity even more :)

I've been told that I'm considerate, trustworthy, a good listener, and offer valuable insights.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

For me, the highlight of travel is meeting people. Specifically, meeting locals and having local experiences.

Here in the States, I host friends and family regularly because it's the best way to really bond and have a connection that goes beyond the surface.

I'm grateful that Couchsurfing exists because it fits in so nicely with how I love to experience travel.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I'm happy to cook together, help clean, hang out together, go out and see a museum or show or grab a drink. Since I host many people myself, I really value having tidy and respectful house guests. That's why I make every effort to be that way to anyone who is gracious enough to host me. Thank you in advance!!
