About Me

ABOUT ME

I love meeting new people and listening to their stories especially since i want to tell stories.

I used to do IT consulting. Now I am directing small product commercials, shooting weddings, and writing my feature! I've also been an emergency medical technician, conducted honeybee research in college, sang in a professional a cappella group, and taught English in Taiwan. I believe in compassion and a good sense of humor.

PHILOSOPHY
"In today’s rush, we all think too much — seek too much — want too much — and forget about the joy of just being." - Eckhart Tolle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met some cool people via couchsurfing in Europe a years back. When I lived in Philadelphia to start my adult life, I had an adult amount of space, so I hosted a bunch of awesome surfers. I'm back home with my parents now, so while I can't host, I am looking forward to traveling and meeting couch owners!
