About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Exploring the World

ABOUT ME

I am in a rotational program at an engineering firm, moving every 8 months to different cities. Last rotation was in LA, currently in Indianapolis, IN.
Born in Macau, lived there till I was 12
moved to MIami, studied there for high school and middle school

PHILOSOPHY

These are just quotes that I try to follow/remember:

forget yesterday, live today, plan tommorow
************
Leaders do not vary greatly on their abilities. They vary in their desire to reach their potential.
************
Life is not measured by the amount of breaths we take, but but by moments that take our breath away.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I let ppl couch surf me... never couch surfed yet.. trying to now...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have gone to many events in LA and met some good friends from my first event.
I have hosted 2 girls (from Japan and Germany) in my tiny studio in LA and one girl (Toronto) at my hotel room (my temp housing provided by my company)..
I now have a roommate... so I don't think he's in to couchsurfing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Can I have more than one?

First time I learned to snowboard in Mammoth.

I watched the moon rise at Grand Canyon with 2 of my closest friends, and then 2 days later biked across the golden gate bridge and all around SanFran. I've decided that I want to move to Cali then.

Before that there was traveling europe with Contiki and meeting my BFF there..

Before that there was backpacking in China with my little brother without a plan.

Life is all about experiencing.

Teach, Learn, Share
