I am working and studying in San Francisco. I care about social mobility, and I appreciate big or small things in life. I am excited to travel and learn different cultures. I love the unexpected pleasures and genuine emotions when I make connections in a new environment.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Besides the fact that it is free, couchsurfing lets me live like a local and learn from a local. I also think Couchsurfing has a great cause that I am happy to support.

Interests

I love arts and science. Arts as anything that requires work to build. Science as anything that tells you what is true about the world at all times.

• singing
• movies
• extreme sports
• philosphy

Music, Movies, and Books

I like hilarious movies and movies that tell a good story. I listen to informative podcasts, read economics magazines occasionally, and watch ted talks. Growing up, I read more fiction books than non-fiction. I sing to pop songs on the radio all the time, though I do like Sade, who's an older singer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was on the founding committee of a program in college.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My story as an immigrant in the U.S., in the wedding industry, experiences and externalities of being in a certain type of competitive academic environment, my fusion of American and Chinese cultures, going to church, etc. I've had a lot of different experiences really, since I am open to new ideas. I can also share my encounters with golf/scuba diving/cliff jumping/sky diving/travels/camping/canoeing/pop music/books/ted talks/economics/teaching/the list can go on
