Growing up in the Bay Area, California, I have always dreamed of traveling Coast to Coast across America. Through a series of events it has finally come to fruition. I spent 14 days bicycling along the coast of California to Oregon, leaving home in the beginning of July. Randomly my mom invited me to Vacation to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

After the vacation was over, I watched my family fly back home while I stayed behind. Now my goal is to follow Highway 1 and bicycle up to New York City and from there maybe back home.
As an avid photographer, I hope to film a documentary on this trip about American lifestyle. A big and diverse country as ours has no limits of diversity, therefore I think traveling through each state and interviewing different people would give insight on other people's lives. On the road I hope to keep up some sort of photo journalism which you can follow at

Aside from traveling, I am a senior at San Jose State University, getting my B.S in Computer Science. I love martial arts and dance. The 3 things I believe in are
Food
Sleep
Beer

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This is a story of me and my brother Han. Thats us in the pictures!!! A couple months ago me and him went on a bicycling trip to Santa Barbara from Santa Cruz. We had the time of our lives and learned a lot. This time I am going on a solo trip up North to see how far I can make it. My summer break is ending soon before I go to school again, so let's do this!
