Overview
About Me
Hello! I'm a Canadian (born in Hong Kong) who grew up in Vancouver and has spent most of my adult years there. I am an art director and have been in the animation industry for the last 15 years. Traveling, meeting new people, eating tasty food, and learning about other cultures is thrilling but it means I have to miss my cat and my dog the entire time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I love to meet new people and see a city from a local's perspective. Being able to make friends from around the world is exciting and what makes traveling so fulfilling.
