About Me

I'm a university student graduating next year but I'm never in one place! I've been moving from LA to HK to Milano, and will soon be going to Ireland, but because I'm a student with housing restrictions, I'm not able to host, unfortunately.

I love love love the sun and cannot stand the cold, yet here I am in Europe in the coldest year it's been in the past decade. As much as I love sharing my own stories, I'm always curious about other travelers/my hosts stories even more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I travel because I love learning new things, whether it be about the history, culture, quirks, language, cuisine, or superstitions of a place. Any trip where I end up making a new friend or learning something new is a trip well made in my book.
People on CS tend to be more open minded and interested in the stories of other travelers compared to some others, and I love that. It means we have more to share/talk about and more to hear!

Teach, Learn, Share

There's nothing I don't want to learn!
What I can share would probably be my knowledge about Thai language and culture, Asian-American perspectives, my view on how different cultures shape people and governments, what it's like living in the US vs. HK vs. Europe, religion, or anything you want to know, really. feel free to pick my brain on any topic that isn't politics :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

my quirk: I love cleaning/tidying up so I'm good to have around after dinner ;)
